Disappearing Trick: Twin Towers "Erased" From "The Carrie Diaries"

While I understand the need to be sensitive to the loved ones of 9/11 victims, is "writing out" the entire Twin Towers from the annals of pop-culture history the way to go about it?

I refer to the new CW "Sex and the City" prequel series "The Carrie Diaries," and the way the producers consciously "erased" the WTC from the show. The main character works in Lower Manhattan in the 1980s -- of course there would be some trace of the two buildings in the skyline, or mentioned at all during the show.

But no:

"When we really sat down to talk about whether we wanted to put the World Trade Center into any of our stock footage what we decided is this is a show about love and romance and coming of age...If one 16-year-old who is watching the show possibly lost a parent—if we caused them pause or hurt in any way—it wouldn't have been worth it."

But isn't removing all trace of the Twin Towers also hurtful, in a sense? Isn't it a denial of what happened? I mean, this is hardly a "9/11 Truther" issue, here. Whatever you believe regarding the circumstances of the tragic event, the buildings did go down. It wasn't a David Copperfield trick.

Should the logo for this Woody Allen movie be changed?

This isn't the first time the Twin Towers have been "erased," either in the original "Sex and the City" or other TV shows/movies. And those who do chose to refer to 9/11 are often accused of being "insensitive"...even though this is a historical event that definitely without a doubt happened and set the tone for world events for over a decade.

What other "sensitive" bits of history will be tossed down the rabbit memory hole?
