NBC New York called the concert “poorly timed” and reminded readers that “thousands of New Yorkers still suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder from the twin airplane explosions.”
Egyptian Theatre booking manager Joy Hart doesn’t really get what NBC New York is on about. “I think it’s unfortunate that the band is being equated with the tragic events of 9/11 in 2001,” she told local NBC affiliate KTVB. “It is absolutely a coincidence.”
Hart says not a single person has come forward to complain.

The wrong one. This is the story of how federal authorities blew the biggest anti-terror investigation of the past decade—and nearly destroyed an innocent man. Here, for the first time, the falsely accused, Dr. Steven J. Hatfill, speaks out about his ordeal.
