Project Mayhem focus's on New York City's financial district as the nexus of their frustration because if they blow up the credit card company headquarters then all debt would be erased, leaving the city in total chaos. Project Mayhem is about being a free person, it's about being free from all things that hold you down. So in blowing up NYC's financial district, everyone would be free from the debt that holds them down and then everyone in New York would be free like the members of Project Mayhem.
I find it very strange that so many people took offense to Fight Club after 9/11 because Fight Club is just a fictional story and was made 2 years before the Twin Towers were struck. Blowing up buildings and the fact that it is set in New York are the only similarities to 9/11 and Fight Club. Maybe it was the threat that people in our own country could do something this catastrophic is what had people worried. But to ban this movie from certain cable networks because of its so-called scare factor, I think is just absurd. There are many movies that are set in New York and things are getting blown up, but it seems that no one pitched a fit about those and wanted to ban them.
