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.

Fun fact, this was the Garfield comic on 9/10.
Garfield orchestrated the worst terrorist attack in history
Obligatory
jesus christ it all makes sense now
This comment section is pure comedy gold.
Happy 9 November to all those celebrating
That would be Kristallnacht, the original 9/11
looking at Germany rn there might be some people there actually celebrating Kristallnacht …
9/11 jokes aren’t funny. The other two are good though.
Get the fuck over it.
Would you like the joke explained to you?
Fun fact: In Spain 9/11 is called “11S” and in Poland simply “WTC attacks” (because there’s no fun way to shorten dates in Polish) .
Yeah I’ve heard most countries flip the month and day around so it’d be 11/9 so 9/11 sounds strange to them since it’d be implying November 9th rather than September 11th.
Have you more fun 9/11 facts?
I only have two.
And a half.
My favorite, The Onion classic.
Man I miss when Subway used to be affordable.
Ouch, a valentines days 9/11 card
My favorite
9/11 jokes are plane wrong
No planes in this one. In fact, you have to have lived through Duhbya’s presidency or be very knowledgable of it to understand the humor this subtle 20-oughts meme.
There was an ad campaign for Flexon eyeglass frames that showed a plane flying past a skyscraper while the sky scraper bends out of the way.
My wife had it in her optometry practice on 9/11. She had her staff yank it out and stash it in the back office.
