The New York Times caused an uproar on Wednesday with a now-deleted tweet and now-updated story that originally said airplanes were responsible for the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001.

18 years have passed since airplanes took aim and brought down the World Trade Center. Today, families will once again gather and grieve at the site where more than 2000 people died, the Times verified Twitter account wrote in a message accompanying a story about 9/11 victims being remembered at Ground Zero.

The 9/11 anniversary message was immediately met with harsh criticism and was swiftly deleted.

The updated tweet to promote the story said, 18 years after nearly 3,000 people were lost, families of those killed in the terror attacks will gather at the 9/11 memorial. There will be a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., then the names of the dead one by one will be recited.

The story, by James Barron, was also changed to note that terrorists commandeered the airplanes that brought down the World Trade Center.

Whatever you want to call it
It's the epitome of "gotcha" politics which does nothing. Someone on their staff made a mistake, who gives a shit

Thats what twitter does though. Find any small thing and make a big deal over nothing.

It almost sounds like satire tbqh, like it was supposed to make a mockery of people blaming guns or whatever. Contextually I don't think that was the intent though

Sick and tired of walmart selling assault airplanes to anyone

This joke btw is only mocking the way guns sold at walmart are reported by news outlets and not 9/11

Mods wouldn't be able to tell the difference without me saying this sadly

I would make a joke about banning airplanes, but the Democrats are literally trying to do that already.

That does seem like a really awkward way of trying to avoid saying muslim extremists committed a massive act of terrorism.
