In 2001, as many people died every 26 days on American roads as died in the terrorist attacks of 9/11, it says. Researchers led by Nick Wilson of Otago University, New Zealand, trawled through a US State Department database of deaths caused by international terrorism, and compared this with an Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development database on road crash deaths among 29 OECD countries. The study covered two years, in 2000 and 2001. The authors acknowledge the widespread emotional, political and economic impacts of terrorism, but they also point out the enormous difference in scale between the two death tolls. "Policymakers need to be aware of this when allocating resources to preventing these two avoidable causes of mortality," they say. Copyright AFP 2005,
