How are you supposed to figure out if an event is significant or not without looking at its historical significance on the years to come?

- Sebb767 5y agoI think this was exactly the point, you can't say one event was large due to the aftershock if the second event isn't even over (and therefore has its history yet to be written).
- HWR_14 5y agoIf you want to compare the relative historical significance of two events, you should probably limit yourself to the same timeframe. Look at how little had changed in the first 1.7 years after 9/11 and compare it to how much has changed in the pandemic.
