Den verkliga terror-skalan - blixtnedslag fyra gånger farligare är terrorister

Statistik: - Blixtnedslag är fyra gånger farligare för din hälsa är terrorister. Sannolikheten att du träffas av blixten och dör är fyra gånger större än att terrorister dödar dig. Redovisade siffror gäller för amerikaner, som får anses vara terroristernas huvudmål i världen.

Chansen är 8 gånger större att du dödas av en

POLIS än av en TERRORIST!

Siffrorna gäller för USA - i Sverige bör sannolikheten vara 100-tals gånger större...

The risk of being killed by terrorism compares annual risk of dying in a car accident of 1 in 19,000; drowning in a bathtub at 1 in 800,000; dying in a building fire at 1 in 99,000; or being struck by lightning at 1 in 5,500,000.

In other words, in the last five years you were four times more likely to be struck by lightning than killed by a terrorist.

The National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) has just published, Background Report: 9/11, Ten Years Later [PDF].

The report notes, excluding the 9/11 atrocities, that fewer than 500 people died in the U.S. from terrorist attacks between 1970 and 2010.

Terrorism pushes our emotional buttons and politicians and the media tend to blow the risk of terrorism out of proportion.

But as the figures above show, terrorism is a very unlikely cause of death.
