    No it wasn’t. Not in a per day basis. It’s significant because of how much Americans talk about it yet, when so little people died compared to any bloody war since. Any dead is too many sure, but the response was to kill way more innocents so… I don’t care.

      The 9/11 attacks were significant here in Australia. It was all over the news for ages and also directly led to other major changes such as a real stepping up of our airport security measures, a swathe of legislation in the name of anti terrorism, and us getting dragged into the war in Afghanistan.

        Well they weren’t in Spain. They were on the news ofc but not so much that I would remember what I was doing the very day they happened. I don’t remember what I was doing in one of the several bombings we have had in Spain with our local terrorists even! They really have blown the thing our of proportion, really.
