The closer to home, the more the outrage can have an effect. The more personal, the more the outrage can have an effect. We've seen many times that our outrage has no effect because it's too far away or is totally out of our hands (Darfur is a perfect example). And since 9/11 there's been a strong feeling in NY that the federal government has been screwing us and does not give us the attention we need (and deserve). This just reinforces that feeling. Yes, you can say that this feeling is ego but just look at the homeland security dollars sent to other places that have a much lower risk of terrorism.
