Lunar... By saying "(insert event here) was (insert description here)", does not mean that the event was that description, but no longer that description...

Im quite sure youre familiar with 9/11 attacks since youre from the US.

An example from Wikipedia:

"The September 11 attacks (also referred to as September 11, September 11th, or 9/11) were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks launched by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda upon the United States in New York City and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area on Tuesday, September 11, 2001."

It clearly is written in a "(insert event here) was/were (insert description)" format. Now, the sentence is not saying that the event (9/11) were terrorists attacks and now are no longer described as such. It merely points to the fact that the event happened ''already. ''And yes, the event date is even included in the sentence.. As far as I can tell, there is nothing wrong with that sentence. o:
