In general, you may be more likely to die in your daily commute than in a terrorist attack. However, the odds of 'was this person a casualty of this specific event, given that they were likely to be present around the time of the event' is likely much higher than 'was this person a casualty of a random road accident on this particular day'
- URSpider94 11y agoThis. I just looked up the numbers, and approximately 1.5 million people fly in our out of the Brussels airport per month. That's 50,000 per day. If 25 people died at the airport this morning, that's 1:2000 of people who would have traveled through there today. Narrow that down to people who were (or were expected to be) in the airport within 2 hours of the attack, and now it's getting uncomfortably likely.
