In Japan, in the one year (1995) they had both the Hanshin earthquake and the Aum Shinri Kyo subway gas attack.

The gas attack killed 12 people, severely injured 54 and affected about 980 people.

The earthquake killed 6,436 people, injured tens of thousands more, and cost Japan 2.5% of its GDP (about 10 trillion yen) in damage.

Why do we fear the arbitrary death from one so much more than the other?
