I cannot imagine choosing that day specifically because of the role that the response to the horror played in their lives. If it were chosen because it happened to be a convenient time, no problem. But to deliberately choose it because of what happened on that day? As someone who watched that morning’s horrors replayed on TV over and over and over again — this idea is almost inconceivable.
Remember Brad’s comment that his favorite place for Shannon to be is/was “without us.” or something like that. Shannon must have heard. This is his doing, though Toni’s comment that he would be a moron to bring her back certainly did not help if Shannon was still there to hear it when Toni said this.
