INVESTIGATES: Freedom has never been free, but it has never have been so costly, either. The human and economic costs of 9/11 – at least the costs that can be measured – are breathtaking.

The tragic statistics are the human ones: almost 3,000 souls lost on 9/11, then, post-9/11, over 6,150 U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan (plus an estimated 2,500 American contractors), over 45,000 soldiers wounded in both, and over 126,000 Iraqi and Afghani civilian deaths.

Beyond that, the damage to America’s infrastructure is staggering. The cost of the four destroyed commercial jet airliners alone was $418 million. But that was a pittance compared to the major costs stemming from that momentous day:

• $22 billion for the World Trade Center Buildings
• $5 billion to repair the Pentagon
• $20.1 billion to care for the victims’ families and first responders
• Insurance losses that day totaled $19.6 billion
• Another $15 billion of productivity was lost due to the nationwide disruption in air travel
• The mountains of dust and rubble left behind in New York City cost 49 billion to clean up
