The “security” fuckery that came into force globally afterwards definitely shifted the calculus for me. Unless I can fly through regional airports both ways, and walk straight onto the plane without going through the gestapo, I choose road travel wherever possible.
Given the skies were closed to civilian air traffic for an extended period of time there, the word “opted” is doing some heavy lifting.

I started flight school in June 2001.
Airspace was closed for 2 days. These deaths occured over the following months.
Well, Americans had opted not to have rail transport. Which is safer.
We opted for air travel, which is even safer than rail.
