They make the audience believe the dog has died, but they reappear later unharmed.

We don't see anyone using drugs, but someone is referred to as having a crack attack, so he obviously uses crack.

Someone is referred to as having a crack attack, so it would appear that he's addicted to the drug.

Early on someone swats a cockroach and attacks a rat, later on there is a lot of implied rat death as swarms are caught up in the disaster as well

No, but there are cuts, or what looks like cuts, one of them a very deep and wide gash across a dead person's forehead.

Several. There's a veritable inferno in the beginning of the disaster. We see (from the inside as well as the outside) a series of huge fire explosions enveloping cars with people inside (quite a long scene of it happening more than once), and later on we also see some dead people's burnt faces. For a large part of the movie, a wall of fire is what blocks one end of the tunnel, and there are sudden bursts of fire close to people many times throughout the movie. We also see a screaming, staggering man on fire; the fire is put out, and it looks like he'll be okay.

Not as in a deliberate burial, but people are buried under falling rubble and large objects, or come close, when various parts of the tunnel collapse.

Several people in the beginning of the film are injured although none of it is very much in depth as they are unnamed characters. Later in the movie, George breaks his neck although it isn’t graphic and no blood or sound is made but the scene is quite dramatic as he is stuck under a car as water is filling up.

No kid dies in the movie but it does mention child loss as the elderly couple’s son died from a disease and the dog in the movie was the sons dog.

One main character who had a son (only child) dies, but the son passed away before the events of the movie; we're only told about him. Furthermore, since we see a partially melted toy that has fallen to the ground from a burned/burning car, we can infer that there is or was at least one parent or parental figure in the car, and the person(s) must surely have died.

At the beginning of the movie, a woman listens to a message on her answering machine from a man who's obviously been cheating on his wife with her. He promises to tell his wife about her, says he wants to see her, and says "I love you", and we hear his wife in the background, saying something practical about a child of theirs (I think), indicating that they're living together. The woman listening to the message shows obvious irritation and doesn't pick up or call him back. We hear no more about him or the situation.

A character is immobilized with anxiety/fear and needs to be coaxed into moving to safety. Later there is generally a fair bit of people panicking

Lots, of varying kinds. I reacted most strongly to a scene in which someone has to make his way down through a vertical ventilator shaft through a series of huge rotating fans, which makes going upwards and going downwards equally dangerous. I felt trapped between the fans on his behalf, so to speak. There's also a person trapped beneath a car in water that keeps rising until he's fully submerged. Also, a group of people and a dog have to dive under an archway through murky water to get to the other side.

Not directly, but someone who's hopelessly injured convinces someone else to leave them behind, so the group won't have to waste time and energy trying to save the person. The person dies off-screen. Later on, two more persons insist on being left behind to die, each for their own reason, but neither of them "gets away with it".

Yes and no. Too many have died tragically in the course of the movie for the eventual escape of a number of people to make it a happy ending.

There's a long scene in which multiple cars and trucks and vans crash into barriers and each other more or less violently all over the place.
