    Hope this is not made for personal gain.

        exploiting tragedy for personal gain

          What rubbish.

          Maybe text books that contain information about somalia/vietnam/iraq/afghanistan/Korea/any war that has ever occurred should be free aswell because the publishers are just making money off the suffering of millions?

          What ridiculous is that you think 9/11 is an exception to the rule.

          I really wish people would start thinking before jumping into ridiculous emotional responses.

    how is this a bargain? something like this shouldnt even be charging anything if they want people using this app for thier own knowledge

    • +3

      I can't see any bargain here. This app should be always provided for free. Making money from the name of a major catastrophe is simply a scam.

      But it's the American Way! It's all about the money

        Careful - you might start pointing in the direction of answering the question of why these towers were targeted in the first place. (Such heretical questions will have you burned at the stake.)

  • "it will be free for 11 days and then $9.99"

    You would think it would go to $9.11.

    • +4

      What a rip. At that price the proceeds should go to an appropriate charity…

  • This is still the best 9/11 tribute imo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzDJOh3z_oA

    Interesting how the post before is for a "Saitek X52 Flight Control System"
    http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/52066

    Yes maybe the proceeds can goto those in Afganistan & Iraq affected by the aftermath.

    Religious propaganda of a funamentalist nature doesn't cut it as a bargain for me - even if it's free. FAIL!

    (Next we'll be listing free watchtower magazine from the J.W.'s and free bibles from the Bible society.)

    • How the heck do you draw the connection to your examples?

  • +1

    What next? A Bali Bombing app?

  • 911 was an inside job - no deal

    • -1

      Is your name Jesse Ventura? :P

    • +1

      It's true, typing Q33 NY in Wingdings proves it.

      • There are many circumstances of 9/11, which are unexplained. Too many. The US Governments explanation for World Trade Centre 7 falling down is comical. 47 stories of Government building comes down in a demolition style fashion caused by debris from the Two Towers?? All other surrounding buildings almost intact? It's a good thing not ALL of us are simpletons.

  • Not really a bargain.

    • Come on - at least make some effort: Why not?????
