would a desk really save you if your building collapsed in an earthquake?

Probably not, but that's not what it's for. Hiding under it protects you from flying debris, broken glass, falling over, and suchlike. https://www.earthquakecountry.org/dropcoverholdon/ …

Was going to say: it's about falling glass, etc. You sadly still die if building falls.

Grew up in a place where 3+ tectonic plates meet and do the hokey cokey. Ideally and IIRC, you go under a supporting beam and/or if not possible under a desk to at least help with the debris.
