That’s quite the euphemism for what many would call a hand-to-hand edged metal disagreement (in my experience at least. Also metric vs US customary metric)

It’s named after their emergency number. Lots of people dialed 911 that day.

No, there used to be 9/11 buildings there. Don’t know about the two missing ones. Two buildings were attackes. No there’s 7/11
