When it happens in America we all feel like it happened to one of us personally. That's a stretch, but closer to truth than not.
911 is another example.
I knew no one personally who died in the attacks yet I can tell you exactly where I was and what I was doing when I first heard of them.
I couldn't even begin to tell you where I was when the first reports of victims being killed with burning tires around their midsections in Africa was broadcast.
(Couple all of this with those who really are not emotionally involved yet make claim to be so as to continue to be part of the tribe- to continue the meme.)
