Do you guys compare more recent tragedies to some past event to try to gauge the level of atrocity? When 9/11 happened did people in the UK say this is 6 times worse than the troubles or some shit? Or is that just an American thing?

    I see. So I imagine when a terrorist attack happens in another country the prime minister goes on TV and announces, "This was truly (insert country)'s 2014." And then hate crimes against Swedes triples? That wouldn't be so bad

        surely when measuring a tragedy though, not by size but by emotions, it's just a reference to the last time you lost the Biathlon?
