Shortly after the docking of Progress M1-9 the ISS made a -2 mag. pass low in southern sky. An observer 40km northwest from my location even reported a -6 mag. flare shortly before the station entered earth shadow. A remark to your calculation below: The total number of victims of WW II was near 55 millions, more than twice the number of WW I. Among those who died were 25 million Russians, most of them civilians. Nearly 10 million Russian soldiers died when defending their country and giving freedom back to the surviving victims of Ausschwitz. 17 percent of the inhabitants of Poland died - no 9/11 wasn't unprecedented. The worst thing is, that both catastrophes obviously weren't big enough to make people think and avoid future violence - WHY?
