example:
after 9/11 a significant number of americans stopped flying, thinking it was safer to drive rather than risk being blown up by terrorists. In the year post 9/11, accidents on american roads rose steeply and more epople were killed as a result of this than as a result of the WTC atrocity. Osama killed more by scaring americans off their safest mode of transport than by flying planes into the towers
