Would many people die? Hell no (unless you were right on top of it and had the material blown down into your lungs.)... Only if you stuck around and wallowed in the dust would you face some major problem. Exactly. Just think back to the big quantities of dust kicked off by the collapse of the WTC. Or Oklahoma even. Got over everything. And into anyone nearby. Now we are talking tens of thousands of people affected by a relatively crude device. On the bright side, perhaps not until hot dry weather returns does the N.E. need to worry. But there's always California.
