    Like I said, middle of the parking lot - I’m talking at least 100 ft away from a building that was maybe 30 ft tall.

      shrug if you think you can run 100 ft faster than concrete can fall 30 during an earthquake so strong you can’t stand then more power to you I guess

        If the face of the building falls off faster than they can get out to the middle of the parking lot then everyone inside is already dead too.

        I don’t think I can outrun concrete that starts falling at the exact moment I start running. What I think is that the odds are low that the timing will be so perfect, and also that the odds of getting crushed under a desk are so much greater running would definitely have given my higher odds of survival in the specific situation I outlined.
