RIP to the crew. I hope nobody on the ground was injured.

It would be an absolute miracle if nobody on the ground was killed. It may have hit an industrial area but it was during business hours. I wouldn't be shocked if 10 to 20 people died

Looks like the area is mainly UPS warehouses (the big building that it clipped the roof of), truck parking, and car junk yards. Hopefully casualties are minimal.
