Heres some internet history for the 25th anniversary of 9/11. One of the earliest memes posted online about the attack. Often called “9/11 what if they’d missed” or “9/11 the happy ending.”
There’s were other versions of it I remember that had the towers bending in multiple directions as other planes attempt to fly into them but they seem to be lost media, aka the Matrix bullet dodging trope.
It was a bit harder to find than I’d assume it’d be. Someone had saved it on youtube and I’ve converted it to gif for posterities sake. The original was probably in Flash which is why it’s so difficult to find these days.
9/11 jokes are plane wrong
I’ve probably had this .gif for 20 years, and I finally have a reason to share it!

According to Trump he was controlling the towers
Nah. We now have videographic evidence of who was in control of 9/11

Looks like it’s from b3ta.com a British based visual joke making forum.
MutantMonty used to post a lot of gifs there before he went onto becoming cyriak of Cows Cows Cows fame.
Looks about right. Also spotted this antique of a 9/11 meme while there.

9/11 jokes aren’t funny. The other two are good though.
Get the fuck over it.
lol
Would you like the joke explained to you?
My favorite, The Onion classic.

Man I miss when Subway used to be affordable.
$5 foot longs are now $10 and have never been a foot long.
Well, well, well…

I have it on good authority that after the towers collapsed Trump tower became the tallest building in NYC. In fact, Trump called into a news broadcast to proclaim that hours after they’d fallen.
According to this Wikipedia list, if we exclude everything built after 2001, the Trump World Tower would be #6 just in NYC (after the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, 70 Pine St, 40 Wall St, and Citigroup Center). But it does note that the Trump Tower was the tallest residential building in the world from 2000-2003, a ranking that would not have been affected by the fall of the WTC.
As someone chronically online, it’s surprising (and not) how many of these I’ve seen for the first time.
