This period of euphoria would be followed by a period of disappointment as the government decides to turn said parking space into an urban park with some banal name like Freedom park, Independence Park, etc. Lawyers clean up on the lawsuits.

Within three months disappointment morphs into faux outrage as some local imam has the effrontery to try and build a mosque within three blocks of the park that nobody wanted in the first place.

In six months a flurry of conspiracy theories emerge that state that the city was actually bombed by FEMA, the Illuminati, Da Jooz, the Reptile Overlords, Chemtrail Ken. In short by everbody but whom the government claims did it.

That entire synopsis is already in the history books for 14 years this September.
