Was "Final Destination" ever pulled off the air temporarily after 9/11?
I know the movie came out in 2000, 1 year before the attacks.
I ask because I'm watching it and I know the first half of the movie revolves around a plane explosion so I'm wondering if 9/11 had the movie pulled out of broadcast, including even on premium networks.
Best Answer
The answer: No
9/11 was indeed a traumatic day for almost every American, and certainly in New England (where I live) because many of us knew someone who worked in and around that area. However, there was never a time when movies like Final Destination were pulled from the air. Final Destination was somewhat of a B-Movie horror film that didn't have the pull of, say, Die Hard 2, which also featured a climactic scene in which a plane explodes. Given that the explosion in Final Destination had nothing to do with terrorism, or even the methods used on 9/11, there really was no tie in to those events.
