FEMA Coloring Book Fail?
I saw this on FARK and it is indeed shocking- a coloring book image for children showing the World Trade Center towers being struck by airplanes- and a news agency in Florida claiming that this image was part of a FEMA online coloring book for kids, and the image has now been pulled.
If the video here at Local6.Com is true, this would be a pretty stupid scandal, and quite believable considering how poorly managed FEMA has been and the general distrust of all things government. But I think Local6 fell for a hoax. Looking at archive.org, the internet’s copy of all of the website histories, the coloring book page has remained unchanged for years.
Also, the artistic style is noticeably different. As much as I would love to believe that this is true, I’m calling shenanigans.
Update! Turns out I was looking in the wrong place. The Smoking Gun has more on the story here. And here is the original file still available for download from the Archive.Org site.
