He managed to only kill one person. How many do the typical suicide bomber
kill? The typical nutcase with a gun? A drunk driver with a car?


Actually, the kill ration is even worse that 1:1. I recall three
planes crashing into buildings: One kid in Florida, The baseball
player in NYC, and this one. So it took three planes crashing into
three buildings before one person died.

I think there was a guy in NH who crashed into his or his wife's empty
house, so you can make it 4:1 for pilots to victims.
