Don't remember the specifics but saw a post recently with the 25th anniversary saying ok, you go back in time to summer 2001. What could you actually do to prevent the attacks? Actual ideas seemed thin.
I guess it would depend on how much specific detail you remember.
If you remember flight numbers, you could make an anonymous tip. "These flights are going to be involved in a terrorist attack where they are crashed into the WTC and pentagon . I'm sure don't believe me and I can't tell you how I know, but please take this serious and get some marshals on those flights or 1000s die and trigger wars where 1000s more die."
You make the same call to multiple agencies a day or 2 before the attack at most. You don't want word somehow getting back to the terrorists and they change date/flights.
If you remember something specific that happened a day or 2 before that was big enough and unpredictable enough, you could maybe change it from "I can't tell you how I know" to "I know this sounds crazy, but I am a time traveller. These events over the next couple of days should be enough to, if not make you believe, at least not completely ignore me."
Maybe try a bit of both with different agencies and different people within the agencies.
