Johnson said that he decided to name the bar after 9/11 because he had read a statistic which claimed that some 80 per cent of Americans never heard of 9/11.
‘We were remodeling the bar so I said “We’re not going to forget. And people who come into this restaurant aren’t going to forget”.’
Johnson said that those mocking his bar on Twitter are actually proving his point because ‘they thought of 9/11’ – which was the goal all along.
‘Mission accomplished,’ he said.
Never forget to never forget
