the headline reporter clearly doesnt.
MCI is a very popular term in healthcare emergency management, it doesn't only refer to deaths.

i'm 51 and i've never heard this word associated with an injury, only a death.
But yea, Mass Casualty Incident or Intake is the common language for something like this.

It's technically true and the most sensational way to word it.
There's nothing sensational about it. It's the correct terminology for a situation with too many casualties for a facility to care for. In an area with a large trauma center that could mean 20 critical patients or in some small town ER it could be 3 people that need sutures.
