The introduction scene to Spider-Man himself in Spider-Man (2002), where Spidey stops a bank robbery by catching the fleeing crooks' helicopter between the Twin Towers. This is the first time we see Spider-Man suited up and fighting crime in his main costume and is widely regarded as one of the most iconic scenes in the movie.
It looks like someone on YouTube was able to restore the scene to the film, @Reflection . Here's how the scene from the trailer would've likely fit into the movie.


The famous bank robbery scene from the film Spider-Man (2002).

--------------------------------------------
On a side-note though, I wonder how on Earth are the police suppose to arrest the bank robbers if the the robbers are trapped in their helicopter that's stuck in a giant spiderweb that sown between the Twin Towers. I don't think most cops would want to climb a giant spiderweb 1000+ feet above the ground unless Spider-Man comes back later and hands the robbers to the police so that they can actually arrest them.

Plus if Tobey's webs act like the comic version then they got an hour to get them or SPLAT! But they probably don't so guessing Spidey has to make a return trip to help the cops or they have to go into the towers and try it that way?

With a helicopter on the web, it would probably be more or a crash and a smash. Not to mention a possible Kaboom! if the fuel tank ruptures on impact. Either way, if the web gives out, the robbers probably have close to no chance of surviving that high of a fall.

Spiderman accidentally does 9/11 by causing the helicopter to fall into one of the towers.
 



Some Music/Sound Clips from an Alternate Jak II without the Weird Gritty Sci Fi Twist from OTL

without the rise of emo culture and gritty reboots in the 2000s the jak and daxter series served its original purpose in TTL
(as a spiritual successor to crash bandicoot)

without jak iis influence on gaming, games like shadow the hedgehog and bomberman act zero dont exist
though the conker series still exists (due to conker being more edgy in a 90s way, predating 9/11 by 6 months)

games like gta would still be popular but not on the scale that it is in OTL (without the need of a game to let out anger)
more like what a game like turok, duke nukem or postal was like in the 90s

How would Bioncle be in a world without 9/11?
the first 2 sets would probally be the same as they are in OTL (as the original generation of bionicle was released in feburary 2000 and became popular in july 2001 right around that time the bionicle happy meal toys cemented bionicle as an evergreen lego set (which is how i got into bionicle btw)

however by the time they get to generation 3 and the skakdi and piraka sets it would be very different than in OTL (with the peices being less darker and more y2k like (with the use of translucent pieces instead of darker pieces, maybe even using electronic components similar to older technic sets from the 90s) and the ads not featuring all american rejects and that one rap band, focusing more on the fantasy aspect like in the ads for the previous sets a few years prior)

bionicle in TTL may not be as popular as regular classic LEGO sets though
with deep lore and creepy characters not being as popular in a no 9/11 TL

which may mean that LEGO still focuses on their classic sets to this day (classic space, classic castle, a 2010s version of classic town, time crusiers, rock raiders etc)

In 2013, Iraq had plans to resolve these disputes by allowing a referendum to be held in these areas, but a coup occurred, canceling these plans. It wouldn't be until after the 2014-17 Kurdish War (or the Second War of Kurdish Independence) were these regions were in Kurdish hands.

In 2011, Iraq became the epic center of the Arab Spring, which saw the fall of the rule of Saddam Hussien. However, as expected, building a new government from scratch wasn't easy; Saddam loyalists were causing trouble, and the territories of majority Kurdish became a hotbed issue.

In 2013, the Iraqi government announced a referendum in the Kurdish majority territories. However, some in the military didn't like this decision. In the Winter of 2013, a coup in Iraq occurred, ending Iraq's newly formed democracy. The new military dictatorship announced that the referendum was canceled. In early January 2014, the new government formed an alliance with Iran and announced that the Treaty of Baghdad, which ended the 2011 Iraqi Civil War and recognized the Republic of Kurdistan, was now void. Later in the month, the Kurdish War had begun, which ended in disaster for the Anti-Kurdish coalition.

Post not mine. Made by ScottishPancakes over on Reddit.


A screenshot on the 2008 video game Grand Theft Auto IV with protagonist Niko Bellic jumping off Liberty City's version of the Twin Towers.

Much like the Rotterdam Tower (Empire State Building), the towers would be a source of fun for players to have Niko jump off of.
Weirdly, the link to Reddit is showing up but not the post itself even though I put it in the media tab. Weird.

Time Magazine Person of the Year 2002: Secretary of State, Colin Powell
He was recognised for his diplomatic role in the Bush Administration, for instance, his high-profile missions to diffuse tensions in Israel/Palestine, India/Pakistan, China and the United States, earning him global praise as the warrior turned peacemaker.

Given that in those movies, he generates them out of his body, I doubt they do.
 
A Nurave Style Sparkledog and a Possible 2010s Yuppie Revival
without emo music sparkledogs are much sweeter looking than in OTL (as nurave is popular instead)

and without teens in the early 2000s being drafted to war and the 2008 recession being smaller/coming at an earlier date or not happening at all
hipster culture never comes to rise

as millennials actually get the jobs and lives they wanted as kids resulting in a yuppie revival instead
(just like their boomer parents who were yuppies back in the 80s)

(notice how hes holding a phone with palm os as well, palm inc was another company affected by both 9/11 and the recession)

1. The U.S. hasn't used the draft since Vietnam.

2. Sadly, the Great Recession still happens even without the War on Terror. The deregulation that occurred under Reagan and Clinton set the stage for the housing bubble.

It depends on how the government reacts to the crisis
