I probably would have had a heart attack myself if they showed anything, omg. I was actually on edge when i saw the film the first time, I was worried it'd show him in the building before he died...

All of this is just for fun at this point, but another thing to note about him possibly being alive is that he is never buried. When it shows them at his funeral, they are over plaque "graves", which are what you would use if you don't have a body to bury (there is no hole or coffin under the ground, just the person's gravestone). Also, they assumed Callaghan dead and presumably had a plaque for him, too. Meaning they didn't even attempt to find their bodies, because if they did, they'd have seen that Callaghan's wasn't there. If there were ever a valid reason for Tadashi to make it out of the fire, he definitely could have because there was never anything left as proof that he actually died. The building just exploded and we assumed he was caught up in it. But buildings have exploded and people have survived the impact, though they were seriously injured.

It's just a matter of how he'd survive it and where he could have gone once he did.
