just hit the 2nd tower

Noticing a lot of 9/11 jokes by what I think is Gen Z, mostly involving hitting the 2nd tower.

In this post, TikTok was just banned, but so was CapCut, and so someone posted on BlueSky: "THEY JUST HIT THE SECOND TOWER"

https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/comments/1i4phmx/both_are_down_i_repeat_both_are_down/

"Hey, 2001 called..."

*mimicking picking up the phone*

"Oh my god...they just hit the 2nd tower"

Before this, the main memes were to say "never forget" when those numbers came up, or joke about forgetting, or to facetiously talk about "these colors don't run" or repeating the phrase: "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" from the 9/11 conspiracies like the Loose Change documentary, or mocking Mark Wahlberg for saying he would have stopped 9/11 if he had been on the flight: https://www.kazu.org/2012-01-18/mark-wahlberg-with-me-aboard-9-11-hijackers-would-have-been-stopped.
