Los Angeles: The estimated death toll from the explosion would be over 370,000, and almost 950,000 would be injured.

If you expected that number to be higher, we get it. But it’s only like that because the City of Angels is a sprawling metropolis.

Citizens of this coastal California city would be subject to third-degree burns from Arlington Heights all the way to eastern Los Angeles and from Hollywood in the north to Huntington Park down south.

The damage would happen to structures from the Inglewood neighborhood, near LA International Airport, to South Gate, Pasadena, and Griffith Park, where the famed Hollywood sign resides.
