Anyone have a fear of images such as terrorist attacks and Battleships etc?

Probably someone somewhere does, but it is well known that people tend to be phobic about natural rather than manmade objects. - Ed
I myself am one who has fears to the extreme! Of images of 9/11 attacks after watching it so many times right after the time of attacks... I can't stand to look at it!
