Question: In the end after all the tower is extinguished, I wonder how the remaining people on the promenade room got back to the ground floor since the stairs have blown out, the external elevator got broken and there is no electricity for use the other elevators? Maybe they used helicopters?

Answer: Exactly, the same helicopter that took Steve McQueen to the roof was most likely the one that picked everyone up.
Maybe not. A helicopter crashed on the roof, setting it on fire and destroying the helipad.
Answer: Where the stairs were blown out they could have crossed over to the adjacent stairwell and back.
