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.

“We've deleted an earlier tweet to this story and have edited for clarity.
The story has also been updated,” the Times tweeted.

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.

The New York Times did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“The @NYT says airplanes caused 9/11. Wrong. It was Muslim terrorists who
waged jihad on American soil and killed thousands of our fellow countrymen
in the name of their religion,” Fox News’ Todd Starnes wrote, while Fox
News contributor Mike Huckabee noted that the paper doesn’t seem to “have
much grasp on recent history.”

“Twin Towers NOT brought down because “airplanes took aim” at them, but
b/c radical Islamists hijacked planes & took aim at them,” Huckabee added.

Many users compared the rhetoric in the Times tweet to an infamous remark
made by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., earlier this year when she said “some
people did something” when describing the 9/11 attacks.

Many others rushed to Twitter to condemn the Gray Lady with messages
ranging from sarcasm to outrage:

The New York Times is so woke they say 'airplanes' targeted the World
Trade Centers - as opposed to Muslim extremists.

Appalling, especially on the 18th anniversary of 9/11. #911Anniversary

The New York Times deleted its poorly-worded tweet (and article, which has
been updated) about 9/11. Those planes did not fly themselves.

Fortunately, journalists rallied to make sure sentient airplanes would be
less likely to kill ever again.

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
