Condition: A straight-forward and heavily propaganda influenced depiction of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. The World Trade Center is depicted with flames erupting from the points of impact with the two planes approaching the towers. An outline of the country of Afghanistan sits in front of the towers with depictions of trucks on a hill with jets deploying bombs flying above.
Below the scene sits an aircraft carrier deploying jets and a missile (labeled 'MSILE').
