An "existential menace" does not mean "the existence of threat", and 9/11 was not and did not presage any kind of existential threat. It is in fact a "sheltered" thing to think it is, and that it is uniquely so in America; minority communities in the US did and still regularly face existential threats, and suffer loss of innocent lives as a result of them.
