You can follow the link or check out the graphic below. It's hardly surprising that 9/11 ranks at #1 or Katrina as #2. After that, I'm a bit surprised about gasoline prices being #3, but then again this is a survey of reader interest, the percent who said they followed a story closely, so of course people vote with their billfolds. Interesting factoid -- the falling gas prices makes it to #16.
I would have put the economic meltdown as #3, perhaps pushing #2 since it affects more people. And it's a bit sad that the nation can be at war and yet the war is only #6. There are some interesting results deeper in the list. At #18, the Pledge of Allegiance court decision? I'd forgotten all about that one.
