Generally speaking, not really. 2001 actually saw a drop in the amount of terrorist attacks from the previous year, globally and if you're not an American, you do not quite attach the same significance to the 9/11 attacks. Aside from the obvious, 2001 was yet another year where stuff happened, same as any other.
If you believe that then you Sir are a Damn Fool!

Quickest way to get Charles out of the way so new Daddy and oh-so-lovable Prince William can take the throne and restore the goodwill towards the Monarchy?
Implicate Charles as complicit in Diana's death, or, privately threaten him with reveal of his knowledge of her death, and if he doesn't bite and abdicate, launch a new "investigation" to show him how serious you are.
This is all a play to get William on the throne faster.

Interestingly, according to this report, although the frequency of terrorist attacks in the US has declined in the years since 9/11, globally there has been an increase since 2004. Some good data in that report worth pondering over.

Actually, I totally believe that. No one prefers Charles to Will -- Will is ABSOLUTELY the better choice to restore goodwill towards the monarchy. Frankly, I believe Charles has been nothing but an embarrassment for the Queen. Charles as King = end of monarchy. He's a stodgy, nerdy, tired, strange little man who wants to be a tamp inside of Camilla. I would think that the good PR that would come with Will as King would be much preferred.
Don't get me wrong, there will be some completely believable, noble reason for Wills to be the next King passing Charles. They won't embarrass him, but they don't want him as King, either.

The trouble is with the kind of non critical thinking that appears to be the case as in stumason example, people simply cannot read in between the lines.

You are wrong, the video is NOT banned in the UK - care to show a official source stating that it is banned?

Got to love the irony in you criticise me for having some sort of "non critical" thinking process, despite it being quite evident I am the opposite given I am actually quite critical of many things without solid evidence, when you're the one espousing demon worship and satanic sacrifices...
Righty ho, you carry on with your "critical thinking" and "reading between the lines", you're clearly so much better at it than the rest of us plebs...

It wasn't!
Here in the UK, we had just finished 30 years of terrorism which claimed far more lives than 9/11, so no, 2001 was not that important.
Neither really was 2005 and the 7/7 attacks. While the USA was paralysed with fear for weeks after 9/11,. the next day in London after tubes and buses blew up, we were out waiting for the very same tubes and buses....

What "global significance"?
There was none, at all. It had no bearing on anything, aside from two boys losing their mother which, sadly, happens every day. What is so significant about Diana dying?
