Probably not even then. The Memorial that sits there now is much more memorable than the building which existed before it. As an aside, the new federal building looks more like a bomb shelter than an office building. Ugly as sin...

If that same random watched a movie filmed in NYC and DC in 1999, they could easily pick out the WTC and the Pentagon and feel sad when they looked at them.

I get it what you're saying. 9/11 victims are much more recognizable, hence easier to utilize for political gain. That doesn't make it right.

I absolutely agree with the rest of your post, but you asked why - simplistic as it is, I think that might be a big part of it.

You're right of course.
