3D virtual reality simulator letting players live 9/11 attacks is criticized

A disturbing new virtual reality simulator lets players live out the unspeakable horror of the 2001 terror attacks from inside the North Tower — and it’s drawing fire.

Created by a group of student developers in France, the first-person 3D simulator is titled “[08:46]” in a nod to the exact time the first hijacked plane slammed into the World Trade Center.

Gamers assume the role of someone in an upper-floor North Tower office as the two planes crash, the buildings erupt in flames and victims scramble in vain for an exit.
