Totally agree with you. I kind of think about it like Plane crashes v. Auto crashes. Commercial Plane crashes are very rare but when they do happen 250 people die in one shot. Car crashes happen so much more frequently but each only has a couple deaths. The grand scale of devastation of this one single act, in one single location makes it far more emotional than 1 or 2 deaths every hour 24/7 across the US. And when emotions are running wild... people get all worked up.
