2012 Common sense from NASA

The year 2012 is no more magical than the year 2000 and the fabled "Millennium Bug". However, the question remains:
Was the timing of the September 11, 2001 demolition of the twin towers in New York related to the momentum of public hysteria built up about the year 2000? Will something similar be engineered during or after 2012? I wouldn't be surprised.
