The September 11 attacks (also referred to as 9/11)nb 1 were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda on the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The attacks killed 2,996 people, injured over 6,000 others, and caused at least $10 billion in property and infrastructure damage23 and $3 trillion in total costs.4
Four passenger airliners operated by two major U.S. passenger air carriers (United Airlines and American Airlines)—all of which departed from airports in the northeastern United States bound for California—were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists. Two of the planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. Within an hour and 42 minutes, both 110-story towers collapsed, with debris and the resulting fires causing partial or complete collapse of all other buildings in the World Trade Center complex, including the 47-story 7 World Trade Center tower, as well as significant damage to ten other large surrounding structures. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, was crashed into the Pentagon (the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense) in Arlington County, Virginia, leading to a partial collapse of the building's western side.

Get the 9/11 mug."Business 9/11" is a term generally used to mean a catastrophic and disruptive occurrence to a company, causing widespread and enduring destruction to the business world, much like the way the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks drastically shook up the United States and the world.
Its origin came from a post making fun of Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter, in which the company's value was reported to plunge by billions of dollars, the same amount of loss in the 9/11 event.
Business 9/11 refers to when a corporation suffers a serious loss that reduces the company's worth, valuation, operations, and public perception. Metaphorically, the word highlights the scale of the disaster, often involving losses in the billions, and can be referenced to events that cause deep economic, financial, or operational chaos that suggests a profound, long-lasting impact on the affected company.
In conclusion, the term can be used broadly to describe any significant business failure or crisis that results in a sharp decline in value or reputation.

Get the 9/11 mug.A conspiracy about the twin towers being knocked down by planes. In reality, the government used it to cover up the fact that there were aliens making contact with earth on that day. The aliens landed on american soil and were treated with respect from the US Government. The aliens and their inter-dimensional spacecraft were then transferred on a truck to a military base off the coast of San Diego where they're believed to be stored in an underground bunker. Many who claim to be on site during the arrival of the aliens claim that this was not the first time the government had made contact with this species. They also claimed that the US Military is working on inter-dimensional travel in the same bunker where the alien spacecraft is stored. Although there is no concrete evidence that this really happened, there have been thousands of reports confirming this theory.
