If they did, I expect it was an attempt to tell people to go on with their lives as normally as possible. The US had been attacked, but if people panicked there might have been more chaos than there was.
Days after the 7/7 bombings of the London Underground, people were encouraged to use the service as per usual, because ultimately these were singular events and should be treated as such.
