It's worth noting that ~3000 people died in 9/11, and the style and spectacle of the attack was unprecedented, at least for Americans. I wasn't glued to Boston coverage. I only kept up with it to the extent that I peruse the news daily. I was too young to really follow 9/11 coverage (10 years old), but I imagine if it happened tomorrow, I'd be much more interested in following developments than I was with Boston.
