Although I am aware that the amount of deaths is nothing compared to that of September 11, I think one of the worst things to come of this is that it means terrorism has become very much a part of everyday life. It's now not months or years of planning for one big attack, it's many smaller attacks anywhere in the world.
Also, you can't look at it like "32 deaths, that's not much" because if it was a close friend or member of your family, it would be like the end of your world. Any innocent human life ended is a tragedy to someone.
It's interesting to me that the number of explosions dropped from seven (what the news stations were saying a couple of hours after the incident) to four (how many it actually was). What gave them the impression it was seven in the first place?
