"I hate to blame the importer. He probably did not know what he was getting. He brings them in 40-foot containers. But whoever made it knew exactly what they were making," Pedron said.

bah, who cares...they dont even look like the world trade centers really

I think they are making much more of a big deal out of this than it really is...Its just a plane flying between two buildings...nothing more.

[Bond]

That's not even remotely funny.

[Happydude]

umm....ok....whoever made that is retarded.....as for buying it, shouldn't the importers know what they are importing? i mean...they could be importing nuclear weapons and wouldn't even know.

I saw that earlier, what a person will do for a buck, geez.

maybe it was for a klondike bar

Anna Rodriguez, who bought a bag of the candy for her grandson, said she was stunned when she saw the toy.

Well in a clear bag like that... it's pretty funny to not see it off the bat.



I still think some people are too sensitive.

My jaw actually dropped when I saw that.

Mine didnt.


It was probably made in Mexico or Honduras or something...and you know...


But i doubt its supposed to be the world trade centres.

Think about it, if you want to make a spinny-plane suspended by two things, what would they be? You dont see too many planes flying close to trees, or telephone poles.

And as for the 9011 that every one has on the bottom, that could be the manufacturers warehouse number that they were made in, incase they need to be traced back to the warehouse.

Its a plane suspended between two skyscrapers and you DON'T think it was intended to be the world trade centers?

As for being too sensitive, bite my ass.

That "toy" is disgusting.

Strangler's right, if this is some guys sick idea of a joke he ought to be locked up.

Honestly, no I dont.


Many things in this world are called coincidences.

Im not defending the toy in any way, because it is a bad toy, im just trying to say maybe it wasnt on purpose.

But like i said on my other post, but you didnt copy it, is what else could it be suspended in? Trees? Telephone poles? Sticks?

The company wanted to make a spinny-plane toy, and knew planes fly over city's. So they made it inbetween two buildings.

Possibly forgetting what happened on 9/11 ( because lets face it, this is the first time ive thought about 9/11 snce last year on 9/11 when they gave some sort of ceremoney)

It could have slipped his mind while he was happy to make an easy buck.

Because, you do know, not everyone thinks about 9/11 every god given day.

That doesn't really surprise me that much, now that I think about it.

True. This is not one of them.

Not surprising.

Any or all of the above. A better question to ask is why would a company create the toy to begin with? What friggin' kid wants a "spinny plane"? This was intentional and as the article states, pretty much anyone can see that.

The company wanted to make a spinny-plane toy, and knew planes fly over city's. So they made it inbetween two buildings.

And then imported it to the US, who was the victim of the world's worst terrorist attack, and just in time for the ANNIVERSARY!!!! WHOOOO!!!! Great logic skills.

Why would you think about it? You're Canadian. You didn't lose anyone. You didn't wake up to two icons of your country crumble in a firey hell, watching people who could have easily been you run for their lives. You didn't go to any funerals or held anyone while they cried and simply asked "why?" Of course you wouldn't have thought about it. Its very easy to not think about it when you live on the outside looking in.

It could have slipped his mind while he was happy to make an easy buck.

Sure it did. Thats not a complteley rediculous assertion at all.

Because, you do know, not everyone thinks about 9/11 every god given day.

Neither do I. But we are all easily reminded when some asshole makes a TOY about 9/11 and then ships it to the US in time for the anniversary. And once again, you're Canadian, so maybe you should just shut up about the whole thing anyway as you just might be deeply offending people right now with some really ignorant comments.

As far as I know planes usually don't fly in between two buildings. Don't they usually fly above the clouds? I've never seen a plane flying in between two buildings.
