It might not be that many more at the scene - warehouses and silos aren't necessarily heavily populated areas.
The thousands of injuries will presumably be a whole range from flying glass and concussions to crush injuries. I'd guess a number of those won't make it, but that's really not that many. The real problem might be the loss of hospital facilities.
The reports say that there were "dozens" of firefighters at the site attending the fireworks fire already. I can imagine they were sadly all blown to bits looking at the scene afterwards You could be correct - maybe just about all those in the immediate vicinity had been evacuated because of the original fire. Depended where you were stood in some cases
