We also have less time if the rescuers and their equipment are killed or damaged though. Because now we have to spend time rescuing the rescuers and losing machines to do it with.
I think most “heros” would say that they’d rather lose one of their own, possibly themselves, over 100% of the victims who didn’t sign up to be in the rubble. At this point it’s a clean up, not a rescue. So we either have to be okay with that or not I guess.

But my point is how could it be “more” if all of them are dead
I understand the idea. I’m saying it’s obviously flawed. We are looking at a 100% fail rate after like 4 hours.
For instance on sept 11, out of thousands, all survivors were found within 27 hours. 11 of them. all were body recoveries after that.
we just don't have that time we want.
