4,763 reported missing
Fox News, picking up an Associated press report, puts the death toll in perspective: "New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said 4,763 people had been reported missing. That number, if added to the deaths from Tuesday's terrorist plane crashes at the Pentagon and in a grassy field southeast of Pittsburgh, would be higher than the death toll from Pearl Harbor and the Titanic combined. A total of 2,390 Americans died at Pearl Harbor nearly 60 years ago, and the sinking of the Titanic claimed 1,500 lives." (JAMES TARANTO AND IRA STOLL Best of the Web Today, WSJ On-Line)
