How do we factor in 9/11 here?

  The discussion here is about more or less expensive air travel, within reasonable multiples. Al Qaeda would’ve probably been able to justify and afford 10x what it paid for its airfare so that’s mostly a matter of passenger air travel existing in the first place.

  The first attack on WTC was a truck bomb which almost succeeded.

    (Oh no!) If the truck almost hit, the airplane actually hit. (Oh yeah!) If the WTC was standing maybe oil would be cheaper. (Oh no!) But, if oil were cheaper, we would be that much further away from adopting alternate energy sources like solar. Reminds me of the quote (forget the source) - Nothing is bad. Nothing is good. Everything just is.
