Fox News
New York City Mayor Eric Adams referenced the 9/11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center in a local interview when responding about how he would describe 2023.
"New York. This is a place where every day you wake up, you could experience everything from a plane crashing into our Trade Center to a person who’s celebrating a new business that's open. This is a very, very complicated city, and that's why it's the greatest city on the globe," Adams replied. Lindsay Kornick is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.

The New York City mayor’s reference to the series of terror attacks that killed approximately 3,000 people on September 11, 2001, took many people by surprise. Many called out Adams’ comment as a "disgrace" and likely the "worst answer" they have heard.
