Refreshing email I recieved...thought I'd share.

"POSITIVE STATISTICS   [:)] By now everyone has been hearing the death toll rise and
 reports of the destruction from the terrorist attacks on the US.
 These were deplorable acts that we will never forget.
 
 But now is a time to look at the other side of the numbers
 coming out of New  York, Washington and Pennsylvania. The sad
 but somewhat uplifting side that  the mainstream media has not
 reported yet - the SURVIVAL rates and some  positive news about
 the attacks.
 
 The Buildings
 
 The World Trade Center
 
 The twin towers of the World Trade Center were places of
 employment for some  50,000 people. With the missing list of
 just over 5,000 people, that means  90% of the people targeted
 survived the attack. A 90% on a test is an'A'.
 
 The Pentagon
 Some 23,000 people were the target of a third plane aimed at
 the  Pentagon.The latest count shows that only 123 lost their
 lives. That is an  amazing 99.5% survival rate. in addition, the
 plane seems to have come in  too low,too early to affect a large
 portion of the building. On top of that, the section that was
 hit was the first of five sections to undergo renovations that
 would help protect the Pentagon from terrorist attacks. It had
 recently completed straightening and blastproofing, saving
 untold lives.
 This attack was sad, but a statistical failure.
 
 The Planes
 
   American Airlines Flight 77
 This Boeing 757 that was flown into the outside of the
 Pentagon could have carried up to 289 people, yet only 64 were
 aboard. Luckily 78% of the seats  were empty.
 
   American Airlines Flight 11
 This Boeing 767 could have had up to 351 people aboard, but
 only carried  92.Thankfully 74% of the seats were unfilled.
 
   United Airlines Flight 175
 Another Boeing 767 that could have sat 351 people only had 65
 people on board. Fortunately it was 81% empty.
 
 United Airlines Flight 93
 This Boeing 757 was one of the most uplifting stories yet. The
 smallest flight to be hijacked with only 45 people aboard out of
 a possible 289 had 84% of its capacity unused. Yet these people
 stood up to the attackers and thwarted a fourth attempted
 destruction of a national landmark, saving  untold numbers of
 lives in the process.
 
 In Summary
 
 Out of potentially 74,280 Americans directly targeted by these
 inept cowards, 93% survived or avoided the attacks. That's a
 higher survival rate than heart attacks, breast cancer, kidney
 transplants and liver transplants- all common, survivable
 illnesses.
 
 Pass this information on to those in fear and the media. Don't
 fear these terrorists. The odds are against them."

Not to mention the pathetic anthrax-by-mail attacks.  You have a better chance to already be a winner from Publisher's Clearinghouse.
