Scenes that could hit close to home, post 9-11
Just three days after September 11, 2001, CNN reported that Microsoft said it would "remove images of the World Trade Center from the upcoming version of its popular PC game, 'Flight Simulator,' following the terrorist attacks Tuesday on that landmark, the Pentagon and another attempt that failed in Pennsylvania, which resulted in thousands of deaths." The game's introduction included a player commenting on the possibility of crashing into the Empire State Building and how "cool" that would be.
The simulation included scenarios where players could fly over New York, Boston, Seattle, and Washington, DC.
Ok this is bullshit, it's a flight sim for crying out loud, if you want to fly a plane into the twin towers go a head if you think it's funny, if you're uneasy... here an idea, don't fly near the ****ing towers, don't edit out part of the game because a few people think it's not right, that's taking away the experience to fly over the beautiful city of New York ;)
