It is.

It's always been one of the issues that resonated with me the most (I have the trade paperback it's included in).

The story I had in mind was that Spider-Man (Peter Parker) would be swinging across Manhattan one morning. He then sees a plane flying overhead and thinks nothing of it... until said plane crashes into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Spider-Man immediately goes to help and get as many people out of the tower as possible.

He is still helping to evacuate civilians when the second plane crashes into the South Tower, for which he goes to help as well. But, even after getting out most of the civilians (he tries to get to Stanley Praimnath but is blocked by hot and fiery debris.), Spider-Man is still in the South Tower by the time both of them go down, and Spidey with it.

Hours later, during the efforts to find people still trapped within the rubble, Captain America drags Spider-Man (who is bloody, his costume torn up, and one of his web-shooters destroyed.), who is still alive, out of the rubble of the towers (akin to how he found Spidey in the aftermath of Ultimatum.). Spider-Man then stands with the rest of the Avengers as they look on at the horror that has unfolded in front of them; the reality that they had been so focused on super-villains that they had completely ignored the idea of terrorism caused by ordinary people.
