More American victims
In the two years since 9/11 over 90,000 Americans have been killed in transportation-related accidents in the United States. Many times more than that have been permanently maimed.
More American victims
I've heard this sort of sentiment expressed countless times today, in different contexts, and I can't seem to figure out why. What reason do you have to point this out on this day and in this place? Is it to say that we shouldn't be afraid of terrorist acts? I agree. Is it to say that cars kill people? That's beside the point. Is it to say that 9/11 wasn't significant? That's monstrously insensitive.
A bigger picture?
I'm not sure there is a point. It is an interesting statistic, that's all. I don't personally conclude anything from it. If it has you not knowing what to conclude then I guess it's effect is the same on you as it is on me.
Yet more American victims
Forgot to mention there have been over 22,000 Americans shot and killed by other Americans since 9-11. That's 3 to 4 9-11's per year. |
