Talk about unintended consequences of 9/11.

We are already in a 9/11 aftermath redux

Not saying it's related, but 9/11 happened.

I thought it was going to be something about 9/11

Just like after 9/11, that worked out well for everyone right?

Similar things did happen after 9/11.

I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted. What you’re saying is accurate. I don’t think the terrorists had the foresight to predict this kind of fallout from 9/11, but it has certainly happened none the less.

Probably by telling them about 9/11.

It was pre-9/11, no? The world was a different place.

The article is about 9/11 and the subsequent events.
