190002, anybody dying is a big deal to somebody. Posted by Mike Jackson, Fri Jul-24-15 08:45 AM
but statistically, you are more likely to get struck by lightning than die by terrorist attack.
that doesn't change the emotional impact, of course.
still- in the grand scheme, Americans are relatively safe from terrorist attack.
but we still get irrationally afraid of terrorism because it's terrorism.
it's designed to create an irrational fear.
