# Never Forget 9/11

On the morning of Septemeber 11th, 2001, a Boeing 767 hit the World Trade Center around 8:40 AM. Another plane ended up colliding with the south tower a short time later, and both of the towers ultimately collapsed. A Boeing 757 also hit the Pentagon; this was all part of a terrorist attack carried out be Al Qaeda in attempt to neutralize the threat of the USA assisting many governments that Al Qaeda was trying to attack.

Over 2,900 people, including 400+ first responders died in 9/11. These first responders, which included firefighters, police officers, and EMS, all sacrificed their lives to save others. Additionally, 300K-500K people were rescued by ferry boats and the coast guard, which is the largest waterborne rescuse mission ever.

Let this day be one to remember 9/11 and how significant of an impact it had on not just the US, but also on the world. Furthermore, any 9/11 related jokes or serious discussions about it will be met with serious punishments.

If you search for prank videos online, you will find thousands. Millions of people watch them. Some famous creators make a lot of money from these videos.

Many popular channels make videos about trending topics. These videos get a lot of views.

Presenter:
What is a prank?

Anya:
A prank is a joke. Many pranks are funny and harmless. For example, asking people silly questions. When people discover it is a joke, they laugh.

But sometimes pranks are not harmless.

One channel made a video with fake police officers stopping motorbike riders. They asked them to say poems or do exercises. Many people thought it was funny. But pretending to be a police officer is illegal. Some people felt scared.

Presenter:
Can people get in trouble for prank videos?

Anya:
Yes. Four men from London made a fake robbery in an art gallery. They dressed like thieves. People inside the museum were very scared and ran away.

The men went to prison for several weeks.

Now they say they are sorry. They want to make positive videos. Websites like YouTube now ban dangerous prank videos.

Presenter:
Why are prank videos so popular?

Anya:
People like to laugh. Jokes have existed for thousands of years. The internet just makes it easier to share them.

Some videos are really funny.

I saw one with a dog in a fake hamburger stand. There was a sign that said “Bark to order.” People barked to order food! The dog looked like it was working there. People laughed and enjoyed it.

Presenter:
What rules should prank creators follow?

Anya:
Pranks should not hurt people. They should not be dangerous or illegal.
It is important to ask permission before posting a video online.
Creators should think of original ideas.
They should also be respectful and responsible.

Presenter:
Thank you, Anya!
