Understanding people's emotions when one or multiple people die?

Asked by kingpinlovesyou (312points) July 24th, 2011

This is inspired by recent events from Oslo and the death of Amy Winehouse.
“When one person dies it’s a tragedy, when many die it’s a statistic.”
First have you found this to be the case and if so why do you think this maybe be?

I also want to add into the mix, why do people get so much more upset when celebrities die?
