All the windows of the neighbouring Town Hall in the Verboczy Street were shattered by the concussion.

Loose tiles were hurled into the street and many passers-by were injured.

The four dead bodies and the wounded were taken to the hospital.

The bishop, greatly distressed, left the building and went to a friend's house.

The daughter of the Vicar Jaczkovics went out of her mind on hearing of her father's tragic death.
