I see a lot of comments referencing 9/11 as a big cause of the downturn and am curious... why? Given the size and power of the US, the 9/11 attack was just a pinprick. Was it the social and government reaction to 9/11 that actually caused the damage? If so, was any of it deliberately engineered?

Also people's memories aren't exactly perfect, especially when it comes to precisely ordering and absolutely placing the distant past on a timeline.
