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.

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.
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.
Obligatory
Fun fact, this was the Garfield comic on 9/10.
Garfield orchestrated the worst terrorist attack in history
Also Kermit was involved
From around 2007
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.

Some good oldies on that site.

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.
Oh man the cringe pathetic pompous stuff I’ve seen today.
Can they get over it now?
