Planes Caused 9/11 in Cars 2

In Cars 2, it's shown that there is post 9/11 airport security. Shortly after this is shown, it is revealed that passenger planes are both sentient and not controlled by a pilot, leading to the conclusion that in this universe the planes themselves were the cause of 9/11.

A screenshot of a post about Cars 2 appears above an image of a sentient blue passenger airplane from the film. The joke is a deliberately absurd conspiracy theory: because the planes are alive and apparently pilotless, they must have caused 9/11. It is used as a dark, surreal reaction to ridiculous fictional-world logic.
