My opinion: not exactly. It's obvious that 9/11 had a huge emotional impact on a lot of people, and while I don't want to do a disservice to those affected, I don't think that's the sort of thing that belongs on HN when it comes to articles or comments. What I do believe are very appropriate posts are technology related ones that we would normally be interested in on a day to day basis, but with the afterthought of knowing that 9/11 served as an extreme case. Things that come to mind are airline security, building construction, communications during / after disasters, and our political rights with respect to technology.
