Speaking for myself, the shock does not come from the discovery of the
vulnerability of any large metro area, but just from that it is actually
happening.
I know that at any time I can be involved in a serious vehicle accident.
That doesn't mean I'm not upset when it happens, and this morning's event
are orders of magnitude greater than a car wreck.

I hate to be callous, but the only thing that has changed is public
perception.
People have been pointing out how vulnerable a crowded city is to any kind
of attack or disaster for decades.
People have been pointing out how vulnerable the USA is to terrorist
attack for at least twenty years.
No analyst in this field would be surprised that this occurred.
