Has anyone seen this [video](http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1125919467?bctid=36830783001), which shows a computer-generated re-enactment of 9/11, plus twenty other planes flying toward other buildings in NYC? The point of the video, produced by the World Wildlife Fund, is to illustrate that Mother Nature killed more people in the Indian Ocean tsunami than died in the 9/11 attacks and that we should respect the earth.

Is this a spoof ad or something the Onion put together?

I started a thread about this a while ago.

It’s not official and has been slammed by the WWF

Mother nature will get 72 virgins for killing all those infidels.

I also just noticed they got the planes hitting in the wrong order. The one that hit higher up hit first.

I did a search twice and couldn’t find any reference. Thanks for the information.
