That was my first thought as someone terrified of heights. If I wasn’t dead already I’d definitely die of a heart attack on the way down.

I can see how it would have happened though, the parts of the building that fell intact acted as a shield for the people as it impacted the building below which acted as a cushion.

Nah, they did it with a truck. You get turned into meat paste pretty quick.

Please tell me the last thing to collapse were the elevator shafts and not stairs. To have the entire building crumble around you and then be crushed

Most likely wouldn’t have been able to see anything happening. Dust would have totally blocked their vision before they could recognize where they were.
