How do sewers in skyscrapers work?

When someone on the top floor flushes, does their poop plummet hundreds of feet down a pipe? And how do they make sure that a blockage on a bottom floor doesn’t make the building flood with poop water?

Industrial maintenance here, highest building I worked in was 90m tall, shit pretty much falls straight down.

How do they make sure it doesn’t clog ? By hiring people like me and making sure it’ll flood the parking before flooding the building.

Note to you all, please stop throwing your tampons, news paper, lingerie, entire roll of paper and whatnot down the drain, thank you.
