SFGate:

Zuckerberg doesn't typically work in a cordoned-off office like a traditional corporate executive. Instead, his regular desk is on the floor of Facebook's open-plan office, just like everyone — but executive-protection officers sit near his desk while he works, in case of security threats. Facebook's offices are built above an employee parking lot, but it's impossible to park directly beneath Zuckerberg's desk because of concerns about the risk of car bombs.

He also has access to a large glass-walled conference room in the middle of the space near his desk that features bullet-resistant windows and a panic button. There's also a persistent rumor among Facebook employees that he has a secret "panic chute" his team can evacuate him down to get him out of the office in a hurry. The truth of this matter remains murky: One source said they had been briefed about the existence of a top-secret exit route through the floor of the conference room into the parking garage, but others said they had no knowledge of it. Facebook declined to comment on this.

Does the escape route include a bridge over a piranha-filled pond?

    What is the purpose of this story?

    I'd say the purpose is pretty obvious - Zuck's secret escape route indicates that he clearly understands the strife and turmoil his creation causes and is prepared for the day when the masses come for him with torches and pitchforks. This contradicts his claims of "Facebook good, more Facebook better".

    Or maybe he knows he's a good target for an angry guy with a gun looking to go out in fame ?

      The two are not mutually exclusive.

      Fame, you say? I'd worship the person that pulls it off.

        Maybe better to contribute to his defense fund.
