This is very scary the damage here was crazy for that building to look that bad. The idea is that everyone needs to make it to a shelter that isn’t nearby the exterior of the building or any windows. From the looks of it if anyone didn’t make it there they were in big trouble. Even in the areas that are still standing if you don’t have adequate protection from flying objects you can easily lose an eye or get impaled by shrapnel.

IIRC, there was also a candle factory filled with 100+ workers that was absolutely leveled. The suspected number of causalities is quite high.
