That’s totally ridiculous. Why would TPTB screw themselves? 9/11 screwed them up. Threw them TOTALLY off stride. Airlines went belly up, stock market closed for days. Huge expense cleaning up the mess and rebuilding.
Forced them to drop rates & throw gasoline on the US economy via false real estate boom. Millions saw the planes hit the towers.
