On 9/11, the initial reports were that 8,000 people may have died at the Pentagon. I knew that the only way that 8,000 people died is if 1/3 of the building's 24,000 workers were crowded into the small segment that got hit. In the end it was between 2-300 (not the people on the plane).

It's easy to throw a number out in haste and it becomes fact.
