A channel event dedicated to the fifteenth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks occurred on the SiIvaGunner channel in 2016.

Summary[]

Due to poor timing, this event took place directly after the advent of the Green de la Bean meme and Bean Mourning Day, which gave rise to mass discontent among the channel's viewers. The discourteous nature of this event, compounded with the previous controversies, resulted in it having the worst backlash in the channel's history.

As a result of this backlash, the event was cancelled partway through. The channel published 16 rips simultaneously at around 9:30 AM PST, followed 30 minutes later by a mass deletion of all rips uploaded on that day, even those that were unrelated to the event. The Flustered Fernando channel was then created to host the 9/11-related rips, though the in-universe SiIvaGunner claimed to have never uploaded them.[1] After the mass removal, channel uploads were halted until the Kotori Minami's Birthday event the next day.

The Bane avatar used after the removal of the 9/11 rips.

The channel's avatar was made overly patriotic with a transparent United States flag added over, Osama bin Laden's beard edited onto SiIvaGunner, and a tearful bald eagle added beside him. The banner was changed to have the Tengami lighthouse duplicated, standing in for the Twin Towers, with Green de la Bean and The Jetsons added to appear to be crashing into them, and the CIA agent from The Dark Knight Rises added in the middle.

After the event was cancelled, the avatar was changed to an image of Bane from The Dark Knight Rises, referencing his "Crashing this plane... with no survivors!" line, while the banner was changed a stretched edited version of an image of the CIA agent taken from a tweet by Triple-Q.[2] The @GiIvaSunner Twitter account also posted a link to the prologue scene from The Dark Knight Rises during the event.[3]

Rips uploaded[]

Most of the rips on this day featured references to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Several rips used direct footage of the attacks, while many others featured more indirect references, such as jokes related to towers or the United States in general, mainly its national anthem and the American Dad! theme song. Rips related to The Jetsons were also frequently uploaded.

The exact connection between The Jetsons and 9/11 is unknown, but it is known that the SiIvaGunner team decided to use The Jetsons only on 9/11 several months in advance,[4][5] and The Jetsons remains banned from being referenced in rips to this day. Two possible connections are the name of George Jetson referring to George Bush (the acting U.S. president during 9/11), or simply because of the word "jet".

September 12 (Flustered Fernando)[]

Several videos were uploaded on Flustered Fernando on September 12 without previously having been uploaded on the SiIvaGunner channel. They were uploaded alongside reuploads of the rips that had been removed from SiIvaGunner the previous day. They were likely intended to be uploaded on SiIvaGunner prior to the event's cancellation.
