Sure there have been far worse things that have happened. But I guess it was just kind of a shock that it happened here in America, a seemingly safe country to live in. Most of the countries where things aweful happen are either ran by a tyrant or incredible under developed, there is either too much control or too little, the people can't protect themselves. But here in America, we have the idea that we can, and we tend to get too comfortable and perhaps a little naive. Then when something like that happens, we get a real slap of reality and remember that we aren't necessarily always safe. Yes, we can move on, but we shouldn't forget. We use history to learn from our mistakes.
Also.. compared to past events.. 9/11 wasn't that long ago.
