No because you've missed the point of the story of the Tower of Babel. It's wasn't just human hubris, but deity falsely construed. The problem with the builders of the Tower of Babel was not just that they wanted self-glorification, but also that they wanted to make God in their image. And while at the time the WTC was being built, some men scorned it for just being a display of human pride, the more essential aspect of the story of the Tower of Babel was missing, that of trying to make God in the image of man.

Could 9/11 be interpreted as a modern-day Tower of Babel? Hear me out. It makes sense, right? The tallest buildings in the world like the Tower of Babel. Was the World Trade Center, relating to interconnectedness, dealing with each other in business like the Tower of Babel becoming too interconnected?
