Re: question 7 – I was going to say the Titanic, but then I could think of exactly _one_ movie about it, not “a lot.” Serves me right for thinking too hard!

Re: question 10 – Wow, I always think of Munich as a benchmark of terrorism aside from 9/11. I realize it’s been trumped by more recent, more deadly examples, but I’m surprised I don’t have even a single match on this one…
