It most likely took all the buildings within a certain radius with it (as you see some come through the other side, and it collapsed the elevator)... as for what killed the dudes on the ground, I seem to recall that in Halo lore, transitions to/from Slipspace involve a rather consequential amount of radiation. Those not killed by being "Slipspaced" in half or simply blown up probably died of some pretty hardcore radiation sickness, perhaps have some signs of that about to really rub it in... vomit all over, shit like that. I dunno, maybe I'm just being sick-minded, but I can see that being rather awesome. I guess I just like when people don't pull any punches and show the true horrors of stuff like that vOv
