There will probably never come a time when it’s okay to mock 9/11, yet a San Antonio mattress store felt it was right to do so in 2016. During the anniversary of the terrorist attack, they held a “Twin Towers Sale” in which all their products were marked down to the price of a twin mattress.

Even worse, the mattresses were stacked up in a commercial to resemble the twin towers. Then employees knocked down the mattresses. The public was outraged, and the store owners apologized and promised to donate some of the sale’s profits to a 9/11 charity. The store was also shut down for a week.
