Don't remember if we see them elsewhere in the game. I find it interesting that Mission 51 would show New York, and not Shadow Moses. That is where we next see Liquid/Eli prior to the events of Big Shell.

Wrong, 9/11 took place. See the second ending-timeline of TPP. Then it's been retconned. The Twin Towers still existed in cut content from MGS2's timeline of 2009. If that cut content was never valid, then Mission 51 isn't valid (unless Kojima finishes it). In which case, I don't see the relevance in mentioning 9/11 to MGS's fictional timeline. Was Kojima planning on telling a story involving 9/11? He had the chance to explore Osama bin Laden and the Mujahideen, but he didn't go there.
