message: * Delete. wikipedia is not a newspaper; the article is hopelessly outdated: "Reagan airport (in Washington, D.C.) is still closed one week after the attack."  --Jiang
* Delete, merge if information still interesting. Fuzheado
* Keep or merge and redirect. It is a valid collection of information about the response to a huge terrorist event. The closings and cancellations caused by 9/11 is unprecedented in US history. The article is also a daughter article of the 9/11 article. Thus it naturally is more focused. Do not delete! --mav 16:10, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)

message: Hello. I'd like to take a moment to justify my wording in the cancellations paragraph. My wording was intentional.
There was a widespread perception shortly after the attacks that recreational events and sport were not appropriate after... is a statement of fact. It could be bolstered by polls, or by the self evident statements of the officials cancelling events.
Recreational events and sport were not appropriate after... is a prescriptive statement of opinion, however correct it may be.
Similarly, removing 'Safety could never ever be taken for granted again' was removed by me for the same general reason; it is an opinion which is in fact contradicted by recent moves such as the TSA's relaxation of the ban of certain pointed objects in the cabins of passenger aircraft. It is my perception that however long it is taking, there is concrete evidence that certain parts of safety assumptions are beginning to be 'taken for granted' again.
Thank you, and I'll leave this be. User:SNIyer12, if you wish to, I encourage you to reply here with your concerns, so that others may correspond with you. Skybunny 03:54, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  International Event Cancellation 

message: The introduction doesn't mention United States of America. "Many closings and cancellations followed the September 11 attacks, including major landmarks, buildings[...]": in which Countries? "Many states declared a state of emergency": states as countries, or as US subdivisions? The introduction assumes the United States is the only country in the World. I propose to mention "United States of America" in the introduction. From Switzerland (which also is a State), Boris.oriet (talk) 10:43, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I recall the mayor closed Manhattan south of some street or another. Does anyone recall which street? How long was the area closed?  Paul, in Saudi (talk) 12:32, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That's right. Manhattan was closed to pedestrians in lower Manhattan for some time after Sept. 11. This needs to be mentioned. I remember the line went right through Chinatown and you could circumvent it by going through one of the arcades. ScottyBerg (talk) 21:40, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cancellations outside of North America 

message: The citation for downtown Cleveland being closed (under evacuations, now citation 6), while being a dead link, has a date embedded in the link of November 25, 2002, is from a college newspaper, and has the title "Plan for Emergency Evacuation of Downtown Released".  Without the original article, I am lead to believe that the article in question was talking about future evacuation plans and did not discuss Cleveland being evacuated at all on September 11th.  Is there any other links to back this claim? --- 64.18.42.118 (talk) 14:01, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
