Things went bad, not unlike "shit hit the fan"

Everything was good until Bob got the hiccups... that's about when the planes hit the towers.

One of the many time in which symbolism is used to show a disaster. Much better than saying September 11th because just saying that doesn't paint a picture into somebody's mind about what the disaster was about. Also, if you use your brain you can think up many others.
Example:
- Boat hit the iceberg: Titanic sinking
- Bullet hit the president: Assassination of JFK
- Planes shot the beach: Pearl Habor
- Planes hit the towers: 9/11

I was sad when I heard that the planes hit the towers.
