We lost thousands that day, please get it right. It was so much MORE than a single building.
Still not even in the same league as an entire city being wiped off the map with a nuke, which was Capn's point.
I'm aware of that. However, my pointing out that it was more than a single building was because I felt that stating it was a single building, minimized the impact that day had on the citizens of the US. I wasn't trying to compare it to a nuke, but rather I was saying it was and remains a significant part of our history that reached far beyond bringing down a single building.
Look at how strict travel by plane has become since then. When I fly to Florida, I have to arrive at the airport two hours early just so I make it through the security checks. And I'm not even leaving the country. But this is the way things have become now. I can imagine things will only get worse with time or with another major disaster.
