c.f. terrorist attacks, which always make the news, but don’t even rate a mention in the top causes of deaths.

  Those are not "top causes", as they are labeled "selected" without any indication how.

  Yes, though that's a bit apples and oranges. Being killed by someone else with deliberate intent is not scary because it's the most common, it's scary because you have absolutely no control over it. Where as overdosing on opioids is something you have a hand in.
