This is pretty much the same stuff from 9/11. You don't survive the collapse. You are literally pulverized. The only things that survives is stuff that is light enough forced out from the collapse as air rushes out of spaces. The rest of you is just going to be pieces and stains.
There are chances you get lucky. Like, REALLY fucking lucky. Like, 1 in a bajillion chance lucky that you're pinned in a corner against a concrete slab that just happened to hold it's shape. You could end up like Engine 9: Ladder Co. 6 or John McLoughlin & William Jimeno. McLoughlin and Jimeno probably would have died in 48 hours. Ladder Co. 6 would have survived a few more days without food and water due to the absolute miraculousness of their situation. Past 1 week, there's not really a chance of even a miracle.
This wasn't anything anything like the Twin Towers. For a start, you can see for yourself the "pancakes": layers in the rubble pile corresponding to each concrete floor. The remains of the victims will be recovered between the layers, where they were in the building before it collapsed. They were crushed, not pulverized. Most of them will be found among the crushed remains of their belongings. They're not going to be represented only by fingernail-size bone fragments ejected hundreds of feet, like at the WTC.
Where were the two stacks of 110 pancakes at Ground Zero? First responders expressed surprise at the lack of concrete - as well as furniture, fixtures, glass, bodies - at the site. These were rendered into dust finer than beach sand and fell ankle-deep across lower Manhattan.
Sixteen people in a stairwell at the base of the North Tower thought they were about to be crushed to death as the building came down. Instead, the blue sky opened up above them as the dust cleared. They were not crushed by 110 floors of four inch thick concrete.
No, not at all.
I don't think you know anything about 9/11.
This is literally what happened.
Yeah, that's what happens when you have a building that tall collapsing on itself as you describe.
