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.

I’ve probably had this .gif for 20 years, and I finally have a reason to share it!
Fun fact, this was the Garfield comic on 9/10.
Sir, a second Garfield has hit the Tower
Garfield orchestrated the worst terrorist attack in history
So they knew about it the day before and it still happened? Incompetence!
Worst? Seems like it worked pretty fucking well.
Also Kermit was involved
My favorite, The Onion classic.
Man I miss when Subway used to be affordable.
If you remember those times you’re probably thinking of a version of subway that was at least partially edible.
I’m pretty sure I remember their sandwiches tasted like they were made of food at one point.
$5 foot longs are now $10 and have never been a foot long.
It’s funny in two ways because, like Subway, it’s tasteless!
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?
lol
jesus christ it all makes sense now
Obligatory
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.
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 …
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.
My favorite
Ouch, a valentines days 9/11 card
I remember this edited photo of a tourist on top of the towers that went viral. My favorite edit of it was the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
Yup this is an oldie. Of course no one was on the observation deck that morning since it hadn’t opened yet. I do believe some of the staff of the businesses on the observation floor were already there and died. I seem to recall hearing a Sabaro’s employee died (there were a few NYC style eateries on the observation floor.)
Yeah, this picture was taken in 1997 and the guy in it did the editing. He just did it as a joke for his friends and didn’t expect it to go viral.
From around 2007
