Inky Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 to compare or contrast both events is sickining, both were horrible, both will leave scars for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoomBa_GoosE Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 both events are of course very tragic. but just bc 9/11 was an American thing doesnt mean it gets more coverage and more attention. i can be anti-american sometime, and i live in LA, but this isnt a matter of American or not. 9/11 was a mass murder to those in the planes, the buidlings, and to the familes state of mind. it was pushed by politics and it drove people to the point where they had to do sumthin drastic. the tsunami was a natural disaster and man it is a sad thing. no one is at fault for what happend. an act of nature is the one thing we all cant help im glad that the money given to the relief has been so great...though we all kno its not enough, A LOT of money has been given. ive yet to open my check book, but i will...

Elazul Yagami Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 1- relief efforts have been made EVERYWHERE. 2- it's not getting the same emotion cause it's not a human attack (could be if you like conspiracy theories) 3- i don't mean to be skeptical and crap, but considering the number is NO WHERE near the 500,000 deaths caused in iraq by the sanctions, i wonder who's surprised.

Sultan Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Sure, you could say this disaster is getting less coverage in the US than 9/11, and that's understandable. But is it true for the rest of the world? I'd say its probably even, or getting more coverage because the effects of the tsunami are more long-lasting. Also, if you just want to compare by how many people died, then this event's coverage should be dwarfed by worldwide epidemics such as malaria and AIDS, both of which kill far more people in the world every month than have died in the tsunami and 9/11 combined.
