If you have to ask if it is terrorism, maybe it is.
The Yankees lost a pitcher in Cory Lidle today in a freak accident involving a plane and a hig rise building in New York City today.
And, yes, everyone else DID have the same reaction you did when they first heard about it…..”was it terrorism?”
It does not look like an intentional incident (I will insert a reference to the Detroit Tigers HERE after this initial solemn feeling wears off), but what is most interesting to me is that five years afer 9-11 we are still waiting for the next, seemingly ineviable attack. Collectively we do not seem stronger, safer or more secure color coded advisories or not.
If every time something happens that used to be just a tragedy we not have the knee jerk reaction that it coudl be terrorism, isn’t it a type of terrorism already?

In short: Yup.
That’s exactly right. If every time something happens, you get fearful and worried about the future, terrorism has succeeded.
