Lower dead count from 911 -- Slate The NYT reports that New York City officials have significantly lowered their count of dead and missing from the World Trade Center attacks. The city is now reporting about 3,800 victims, as opposed to the 5,000 reported in the weeks after the attacks. As more duplicate names get pulled from the list, the Times says the number will likely fall even more, probably below 3,000. Some newspapers (namely the Times) and charities have been reporting that lower number for weeks. Still, says the NYT, it's hard to get the smaller stats into the public's conscious. Everybody from Don Imus to Secretary of State Powell still cites the 5,000 figure.
