TY for trying to help, but I’m from the US, and understand all that - in fact I explained it myself in the body text of the post. I just thought if you only glanced at it at first (as I did when I saw it), it looks a bit like a headline, or maybe a boast that he injured so many. In that quick glance, the “.com” even looked like an inverted exclamation point that my subconscious mind automatically flipped.
Sorry, actually not from OK (& I won’t get into whether I actually am OK). Just happened to pass through at one point & then thought of it this morning, so I had to look it up.

To me, it reads like a headline stating that he injured 918 people.
