How high on the Richter scale would kill someone?
The energy in the Richter scale will not of itself kill anyone. Indeed if you are outside in an open area you are likely to be safe (baring cracks in the ground and liquefaction. It is things falling on you that will kill you and that depends on the design of the building/structure you are in. A weak earthquake in a poor building can kill you. A strong earthquake in a well built building will probably not kill you.
Would there ever be at least an 11.0 earthquake?
unfortunately yes an 11.0 or higher earthquake could happen tho the earthquake itself would not be the problem the cause of the Earthquake would be the most devastating being caused by either a super Volcano or a large Asteroid hitting the earth. the likely hood of survival anywhere on Earth would be very very slim to none for any type of animal including humans or plant life, although I am sure something would survive Humans would probably would not be one of them.
