I think it's interesting to speculate how different the WOD is from RL:

You're correct if we're being realistic but I guess my point is that this is a horror game and urban fantasy. There's going to be a staggeringly larger number of people who go missing every year, people who are enslaved to parasitic gods, and random murders because there's something like a 1,000,000 extra people in the world that are possessed of incredible powers and are complete assholes. Quite a few who are committed to violent terrorist idealogies (Nephandi, Baali, Pentex, Werewolves, Sabbat).
That's going to be at least several thousand more murders in virtually every country in the planet. At least 3 or 4 million people die prematurely extra every year probably.
That's also low balling it.
Vienna and a single terrorist attack just strikes me as nothing compared to the sheer volume of casual violence and horror that the premise of the game requires as going on all the time.
You just have to suspend your disbelief that everything is basically the same, like in a superhero series or comic book world.
