I definitely consider 9-11 a non-Crisis event. It was not in a Crisis Era and it did not initiate a Crisis. The nearly-simultaneous inauguration of FDR and the accession of power of Antichrist Hitler are definitive markers for Crisis Eras. The American response to the Pearl Harbor attack (rapid regimentation of the economy, and mass-abandonment of lucrative, hedonistic ways) could hardly be more different from the response from the President to 9-11. "Travel" and "Go shopping!" were not the sorts of responses that one has in a Crisis -- but it is the norm of a 3T.
I consider the political, cultural, and economic misbehavior of a late-3T (I call it the Degeneracy as opposed to the Regeneracy) the sort of deeds that lead to a Crisis Era. Example" speculative booms that devour and waste capital as in the 1920s and the Double-Zero decade.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
