Honestly, the Daily Mail is in no way a mouth piece of the British population. If everyone took what they saw in entertainment literally British (in particular English) would be convinced that they were all villains. The Moscow trainline was bombed recently by rebels but nobody there is taking offence, and they are normally the bad guys too.
Great PR by Activision. It's an imagined setting, and if they include it with the option to skip then where's the harm. If you can't tell the difference between reality and game then frankly help is needed. As for why nobody would do 9/11; it is too iconic a moment not to be instantly recognised as being used - there are, after all, many metro systems in the world, but there was only one WTC.
Sun-Tzuing my way to the necessary 100 posts - Sorry!
