If you didn't think the New York Times was garbage before, check out this tweet for the anniversary of 9/11

Delete this, New York Times. Delete it now:

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. https://t.co/rFn2evf1dA

Update: They deleted it, but we have a screenshot:

“Airplanes took aim”? How does that work?

Maybe the towers were asking for it:

Man, those towers really must have done something to upset those airplanes. https://t.co/N0WUjV2Gt5

Maybe airplanes should be illegal:

And 18 years later, we still somehow allow airplanes to be legal. Let that sink inhttps://t.co/1vVE6cPaTW

Imagine if they covered Pearl Harbor this way:

“On December 7, 1941, airplanes took aim and seriously damaged the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor." https://t.co/8mh6i0f4sv

And they’re low-balling the number of deaths, too:

*almost 3000 people died https://t.co/kEhorgpnes

And it’s not even 8 a.m. yet:

This may be the worst tweet of the day.

Great job. https://t.co/vNrtILiBgc
