This September we recognize the profound impact the events of September 11, 2001, had on our industry. The 9/11 terror attacks were the deadliest ever to occur on American soil, with 2,977 innocent lives lost, including 295 employees and 63 consultants from Marsh & McLennan and 176 employees of Aon. The attacks lead to fundamental changes in the way insurers operate, including the underwriting and pricing of terrorism risk. #september11 #neverforget #america #reflection https://lnkd.in/gPXJdxkY
