Don't merge, it is already longer than  would allow within the 9/11 article itself, and can be expanded as the fallout over it continues (which is still ongoing and will likely result in staff firings). Event meets every |general notability guideline criteria; received significant, reliable, widespread coverage. This wasn't due to a "slow news day", this was a massive debacle. It isn't a one-off news story, either, as many news sources are repeatedly going back to cover the events that are unfolding as a result (Caldera may be sacked, for instance).
