VIDEO Friends scene deleted in light of 9/11 goes viral
In a 2001 episode of Friends from Monica and Chandler’s honeymoon, they are questioned by airport security after Chandler made a bomb joke. You don’t remember that part? It turns out that’s because NBC replaced the scene with another one in the episode, which was scheduled to air two weeks after the 9/11 attacks.
The unearthed clip was shared on YouTube years back with this note…
The following scenes were deleted from the episode “The One Where Rachel Tells Ross” and are being presented here for the first time. The story involved Chandler joking with security at an airport and was to air two weeks after the events of September 11, 2001. In light of this, we decided to replace the original story. As part of the history of the show, we hope that the scenes can now be viewed in the spirit which they were originally intended.
Even though the clip has been online for years, it just started getting major attention this week — to the delight of fans who didn’t know it existed. Take a look!
