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 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.)
