9/11 and Car Wrecks

Three years after September 2001 [according to the Financial Times] domestic airline flights in the United States were still 7 percent below their pre-9/ll levels ... During that period, some 120,000 Americans died in automobile accidents. If a small percentage of these deaths occurred to people who were driving because they feared to fly, the number of Americans who died in overreaction to 9/11 could well surpass the number who were killed by the terrorists on that terrible day.
