"The world trade center's distinguishing feature, the twin towers, no longer exist. Therefore, it is physically impossible to fly planes into them, thwarting any 9/11 style hijackers from performing a 9/11-2."

Seems like that settles the matter.

Millennial hijackers will get in the cockpit and be like “but what’s the WiFi password? Where can I charge my phone???” i-cant

Well for one thing they wouldn’t make it a public service, it’d get contracted out to private call centers and you’d have to pay per call and they’d have a shitty AI asking you the details of the emergency instead of a human being.

That was what it used to be, you'd contract ambulance or fire services (or, in the 18th century, thieftakers) and they'd run out their own little cab. After they devolved into essentially rival gangs with a secondary protection racket everyone decided it might be better to unify these organisations.

9/11 didn't happen...

But it should have.
