What about “Quadrkazee?” Combination of quad (four) and kamikazee?
I just call it Tuesday.
For example:
Since Tuesday airport security has been increased tremendously.
When ever I think of Tuesday I get sad and angry.
The last time I saw the WTC was on Tuesday.
It pisses me off when I hear folks call it anything containing the words “tragedy” or “disaster”. To me, those words imply that it was somehow unavoidable, like a hurricane, like something bad that happened without reason. There WAS a reason, it was deliberate, and we should be openly pissed about it, not sit back and wring our hands about “tragedy.”
I vote for just “September 11th”. Today, when you say “Pearl Harbor”, people instinctively think about the attack, not the base. I don’t think that referring to “the World Trade Centers” will get the same connotation, but the date is indelibly carved on many of our memories. September 11th. Need we say more.
The one reason I feel strongly against using “September 11th” in the history books is those poor people whose birthdays are on 9/11. It’s a petty little reason, but if anything ever happened on 3/24, God forbid, I’d be some damn pissed if the country was walking around cursing the day I was born.
Unfortunately, I think it’s gonna be called September 11th, following the September 11th fund and all that…
Wow, what an incoherent post!!!
How about calling it “Clintons Legacy”? 
Seriously, I think it will go down as the “Attack on America” for it really is the first time since the Civil War that an attack of any magnitude took place inside America.
Locally I know that the attacks have taken to being called “the events”. Man, that ticks me off. The murder of nearly 6000 innocents in broad daylight merits more than “event”.
I think that history will call it “September 11”.
I think we, the minions of irony, should call it what it was:
“World Culture of Peace Day”
I thought I heard it mentioned that 9/11 will be officially known as “National Rememberance Day”, I believe. However, I agree words cannot say enough about the grand scale of total deaths and destruction - in multiple places, no less.
- Jinx
Yeah, that was called for.
I vote for Black Tuesday.

Something ironic I found flipping through Chase’s Calendar of Events for 2001, under September 11:
Damn, red_dragon beat me to it. I vote for ‘The Atrocity’.
Didn’t you know? The militant islamic fundamentalists loved us and Isreal until 1993.
Uh…is that for real? That was composed before 9/11/01?
A year or so before, Rilchiam.
We just got in our 2002 Chase’s, which for those of you who may not know is a standard reference work, a book-of-days kind of thing that lists all sorts of anniversaries, holidays, special events, famous people’s birthdays, etc. It’s not the kind of thing most people would buy for themselves, but libraries depend upon it heavily when some body calls in to ask something like “Who famous was born on October 25?”
Mon dieu.
