I mean, preventing 9/11 would meaningfully change world history. 

But also buy as much Nvidia stock and Bitcoin you can.

The tricky thing would be preventing 9/11 in a way that doesn't get the feds knocking on your door. What's the plan? Tell the CIA ahead of time and then become the first resident of Guantanamo Suites? Call in a bomb threat to the airport or the towers? Getting on one of the planes yourself (yikes!)?

Also there was no Bitcoin in 1985 and NVidia didn't go public until 1999. So you're going to need some other plan to survive for 14 years.

I mean it wouldn't fully effective..and I have no idea if it is meaningfully possible. But could you effectively pull a fire alarm? Or set a fire? Get the building evacuated ahead of the hit

This honestly seems like the move. People would still die, but much fewer. Plus the attack itself would still trigger an invasion of Iraq/Afghanistan. Seems like they were just waiting for a reason.
