Not to discount these attacks, but 29 deaths and 140 injuries really doesn't compare to 9/11 (2,996 deaths and 6,000+ injuries).


National tragedies aren't really a numbers game. I can vividly recall a great deal of how I felt on the morning of 9/11, and it was quite some time after that before I learned how many lives were lost.
