Not just the US. There were a lot of foreigners who worked in the World Trade Center and died on 9/11. I recall shortly after that day reading that for some large number of countries, 9/11 was the largest terrorist attack on their citizens.

As an Australian the direct effect of 9/11 on us was tiny, but the effect of the US's reaction has been huge.
How do you mean?
They invaded two countries, one of which was tangentially connected to some of the people involved in the hijackings which has resulted in quite a lot of innocent deaths.

Pretty major story of the past decade.

I read that saying the impact on Australians has been huge so how has it been huge?
