Do you really believe 9/11 compares to the Yom Kippur war of '73? Lots of people dying on a single day vs. even more people dying in a few weeks. (Although most of the casualties weren't on the Israeli side.)

After rethinking I withdraw my arguments in this discussion. You (and others) are right.

What makes Yom Kippur war of '73 so special, if you are looking at just fatalities, why not talk about the Indian famines where millions died because of British policies.
