Speaking of numbers, at the end of January 1945, a Russian submarine sank the Wilhelm Gustloff carrying refugees from East Prussia and killed about 7000 people. A few days later the same submarine sank the hospital ship, General Steuben, also in the Baltic, and killed a few thousand more. Not quite terrorism, but it does tend to put things into perspective.

If your mind runs to this kind of unpleasant record, the first is the largest recorded maritime disaster.

Yes. People forget that we are in a relatively peaceful/stable time
