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.

Propaganda. They've already made plenty of movies about 9/11.

I think what someone considers a disaster is of their own opinion. It's something personal that matters to you. Obviously, the people who lost their parents and family in the attack are going to be more affected than someone who didn't even know where the trade centers were located. It got us involved in a war, I think that's pretty signifant. I'm not saying that there weren't other factors in the US going to war, but I'd say that aftermath of the attack added to the reason why they call it a disaster.
