“NYers on 9/11 unfortunately had the double slam, that defined without question, that terrorists were seeking to punish the US in retribution for some perceived grievous error committed.

"The largest scale fuel dumping occurred on September 11, 2001, when many international flights were refused American airspace entry due to numerous hijacking incidents.
