aggravated"The events of Sept. 11 had a dramatic impact on business prospects."
Which is of course a "pile of shit"(tm) the only dramatic impact 11th of September has had is being able to blame an external source for what is ultimatly just a natural lull in the stock market.
I remeber black Wednesday in the late 80's that was a scary day is the least worst link and everyone knew that things were really really bad then.
But look just now, things aren't all that bad, yeah they are strained but they certainly aren't bad.
