Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Ramey Rieger (X): So you want the trade fair to be associated with 9/11??? Well, it's certainly vivid!
9 mins
  -> I was in Manhattan when those planes hit the towers..Still, that term has many other connotations besides 9/11

disagree  Steffen Walter: A moot argument, Michael. This term can have as many other connotations as you like as long as it first evokes 9/11.
3 hrs
  -> Not buying that at all. I am hardly the only one to use this in a marketing context.
