I'm surprised they haven't changed the number for their emergency
services as a 'mark of respect'

Funny you should say that. It was my first thought when I heard
people referring to the Twin Towers attacks as "9/11".

Though, to be fair, the emergency services number is always read as
"nine-one-one", never as "nine-eleven".

Not that I recall (from before 2001).
