Seasons 7-8 of Friends occured 2001-2002, the characters lived in Manhattan, relatively close to the WTC in Manhattan.
Not once do any of the characters mention the most historical terrorist attack on American soil, which occured a few miles from them, in any of the time immedietely after the attacks.
This is clearly a universe where 9/11 happened as establishing shots showing the WTC pre-2001 were recorded on the show (and obviously the towers were gone afterwards).
I imagine, for New Yorkers, this would have been a big deal. Were the characters Seinfeld-level self-centered to NOT EVEN MENTION the attacks once in that entire year?
Discuss.
