I don't know where Shepard is, I only
know that being on the Citadel seems ridiculous. After shooting the tube
in the destroy ending, you can somewhat see that after the explosion
that blows Shepard backwards (followed by the activation of the
Crucible) there is no more Shepard (in fact, with Flycam you can see
scorch marks where Shepard stood but I wouldn't count this in).
But
even when Shepard somehow survived that (you know, heavily wounded,
damaged armor, no shields) I'm sure he can't possibly survive that 13+
km wide explosion that follows the beam discharge (not counting any
radiation in).
Also I can't wrap my head around how EMS should affect this.
Higher
EMS means that more of the crucible is intact, making it more
controlled. It means that the explosion from the beam wasn't as strong
if you have a more intact crucible.
On Topic:
The citadel
doesn't explode. The Death Star explodes, the Citadel breaks apart.
There is a huge difference. Like with the relays, they don't exploded,
they just break apart.
The reason people say Earth, is because
the rubble looks like concrete. It could have been an over site. Maybe
they thought it would look better.
You have to suspend logic for
this scene. Just like when Shepard was brought back to life after being
spaced and colliding with a planet.
