Yes, the Son of Sam committed his crimes in a small area. Guess what, the people who lived in that area were TERRORIZED!! They were scared to go out and scared to live their lives normally. I thik that is the definition of terror.
What happened on 9/11 was a publicity stunt. The terorists didn't just go and randomly pick individuals, they picked large, public symbols of America. If the terrorists attack again, I have no doubt they will do the same thing.
New York City is large and has a lot of people but 99.95% of those people were safe on 9/11 because they didn't live or work in an area or building that was a symbol.
As far as my situation that day, I don't know where you live or if you have to drive but when gas prices were going from around $2 dollars to $3, $4 and even $5 dollars, it was scary to drive. People were speeding and a couple of times I saw them run red lights to get in line at a gas station or convenience store. Once in those lines, they were none to happy and tempers and emotions were on edge. Based on that, I WAS scared of what some idiot might do and that I might not make it home.
