The emprire state building is shown sinking into the ground, and you can't help but think of 9/11 the way it's shown. The towers themselves were shown in the opening and ending sequence, and I don't think any other cartoon showed the NY skyline with such detail. Especially for one made in the early 80's. The actual episode itself is definitely not one of the better ones, as it's animated by AKOM, and their animation is by far the worse during the entire series run. There are numerous obvious errors throughout the episode, visually and vocally, and the plot itself was weak and probably not able to be savaged even without the errors. The "Atlantis, arise" episode features DC much in the same way NY was featured in this one, but the animation was far superior and the plot itself was executed much better.
