[This page](http://www.ourcivilisation.com/usa/toll.htm) says 2,792 as at Aug 15 this year. That figure is just for the WTC attacks, I believe. One thing I have often wondered - do the official death tolls include the terrorists themselves, or are they excluded? ---

Good question…I think the same question came up for the Columbine tragedy, with some of the parents getting upset that the shooters were included. 2,792 from the WTCs…and DC and Pennsylvania were??? Thanks- -Tcat ---

The death toll at the Pentagon was 189, including the 64 people who died on American Airline Flight 77. The total number dead on the flight that crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, was 45 (38 passengers, 7 crew). ---

The city of NY does a mortality report every year. This is the one covering the WTC deaths. [http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/pdf/vs/2001sum.pdf](http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/pdf/vs/2001sum.pdf) ---

Another facet to this question: Initially it was announced that September 11 was the most deadly terrorist attack in British history, with around 100 Britons killed. Now that the overall death toll has dropped by more than half, is this still the case? ---

I believe a number of people on the ground were killed in that incident.
