For every floor that is crushed below, one is crushed above. 40 floors above cannot crush 40 stronger floors below without additional help.
Please explain why Newton’s third law ceases to exist in your example. Why does the top portion stay intact while the stronger bottom portion is vaporized.

It did not stay intact. The additional help is the force of gravity, plus the growing mass of the collapsed floors.

So the top portion stays intact but somehow the bottom portion vaporizes to dust? And you say you aren’t ignoring Newton’s third law?
Your explanation is full of contradictions, and you are not open minded enough to see them.
