How high might the casualties be? Will the authorities be able to cope with the death toll and casualties?
We can only guess at the death toll, but it will be in the thousands. The number of those seriously injured will likely be in the tens of thousands. With roads blocked, equipment and facilities destroyed or inoperable, personnel attending to their own situations, and general chaos, there is no way that emergency services and hospital facilities will be able to cope with casualties on this scale.
