9/11, Definitely NOT the worst thing ever... Options

[MissFits]

I was watching the Discovery Channel. There was some show about Nostradamus on, and they kept mentioning 9/11. Over and over again they said "It was the worst attack..." "Most horrifying...". I can't help but to disagree, but IT WAS NOT THE WORST!! 2,993 people died in that attack. Sure, a lot of innocent lives, but what about Hiroshima?
90,000-140,000 completely innocent people died in that attack, why isn't that considered the most tragic ever? When that happened we, as Americans, were no better than the terrorists were on 9/11. I would dare say, we were much worse. What about the 72,000,000 people that died in WWII? Why isn't that worse than 9/11? Or the 40,000,000 that died in WWI? WHAT ABOUT THE 25,000 TROOPS THAT DIED AS A RESULT OF THE 9/11 ATTACK?

I hate how Americans are like the emo teenage girl that wants everyone to feel sorry for her.
There have been so many worse things than 9/11. Get your head out of your ass and take a look around you.

^ Yes, but you said "worst attack" as in worst attack on US soil. That's probably what they meant. They don't care about numbers. Even in the Vietnam war there were more troops who died than 9/11. But once again, and I apologize if I sound redundant, but they're talking about the devastation and crap that happened. ESPECIALLY since it was kind of a surprise attack (well not really, as rumors have told me), since the "war on terror" (and pretty much all those other wars after the Civil War) have taken place overseas...


And I'm really stressing on the "domestic" aspect of the opinion stated on the show (or whatever it was on that channel).
