Although no specific 9/11 depictions, there are depictions of the Twin Towers (as this movie is about NYC and was made in 1981), and the plane does crash into a building in NYC (but not the Towers) in the beginning.

At the beginning a man gets into an escape pod but there is no view of this except for him climbing inside. The main character also flies in a plane with a small cockpit for a short while.

There’s a theater performance where you can see a group of performers (out of focus/in the background) dressed up like women. There aren’t jokes about it but it seems like in-universe it’s played for laughs.
