How would the original cartoon Turtles react to 9/11 in 2001?

If you assume the Fred Wolf cartoons seasons take place roughly in each year they aired in, we haven't really seen them past 1995/1996.

Even aside from that, how would the Turtles react to 9/11 happening? Now naturally they would be horrified, as were people in real life, but do you think the Turtles would especially be distraught that they couldn't save close to 3,000 lives in their home city from an act of terrorism? I like to assume all the events in real life happened in their world as well.

ESPECIALLY when you remember the twin towers were actually a plot point in one episode of Season 3 where Shredder/Krang were using it to repower the Technodrome.
