This seems to be a fairly Global phenomenon. 911 fall of the towers is the thing that people remember most however we had the Pentagon and the Pennsylvania plane go down and we rarely talk about those but they were equally shocking in reality. Always wondered about that.

A lot of people went home. Also, being in a large university that had received threats before, I think there was a feeling that it could be any public space. I didn't know much about the PA plane until afterwards.

Sounds chaotic. I'm from New York, I had people there too. So I can understand the concern that was felt. It still doesn't explain the majority of people who don't have such a specific context of distraction. This is where I'm stuck on the rationale of the towers vs. all of 9/11.

I was at work for a large university and in a meeting when the first plane hit. At that time, they thought it might be an accident, but it shut our meeting down.
