 Since the end of the war, in 1945, the word kamikaze has sometimes been used as a "pars pro toto" for other kinds of attack in which an attacker is deliberately sacrificed.These include a variety of suicide attacks, in other historical contexts, such as the proposed use of "Selbstopfer" aircraft by Nazi Germany and various suicide bombings by terrorist organisations around the world, such as the September 11, 2001 attacks.Many films and television programs overdramatise car explosions, showing them as being far more likely than they actually are.
