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.

To those who are claiming 9/11 was a staged attack:

I beg you...use common sense. There are 8 million people in New York City -- that's 16 million eyes watching; staging something of that magnitude is impossible.

What we saw: two planes hit the towers, causing them to collapse (widely verified and held by 99.9% of people who have analyzed footage and eyewitness accounts of that day ad nauseum).

What some idiot on his Mac conjured up after zooming in on grainy photos and linking various non sequiturs to the events that day: "Loose Change" and other moronic, amateur propaganda.

And to anyone who challenges the fact that 9/11 was the worst foreign attack on U.S. soil, find me one more devastating. Good luck with that.

(And by the way, Katrina claimed about 1,800 lives. Do the math.)
