Well my best friend died in the twin towers, most of the company executive was killed and I was two weeks away from joining them at the time, so this is rather poignant for me.
As Peter said Navgas in sufficient quantity would have weakened the trusses that had insufficient fire suppressant insulation (a known problem at the time).
While one can't prove it wasn't a right wing, extremist CIA groups fund raiser to sponsor or incite such a tragedy - such conspiracies never stay hidden or silent - and it up-rooted the American psyche.
Personally I think it ushered in a more worried world, but the stage was set and it was just a matter of time unfortunately.
