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?

There seems to be a lot of BS here. Water/waste doesn’t fall down the middle of a pipe it runs down the sides of a pipe by a force I can’t remember the name of right now. It just continues to role down the edges and never comes close to “terminal velocity”.
