Thats true, but neither 9/11 or 2008 came even close to having a sudden and sustained 75-90% drop in air travel, 4 months after the fact.
$10 TRILLION dollar hit to our nation to save 200,000 lives. Sorry if it sounds cold, but $50 million per life isn’t worth the economic destruction of our nation. History will not be kind to how we reacted to this event.
