The government agency that bungled the Hurrican Karina response has yanked a kiddie coloring book from its site called "A Scary Thing Happened" that depicts the burning twin towers on the cover - with a plane heading straight for one of them.On page 12, the stomach-churning 9/11 image is repeated not once but three times, complete with flames - for kids to color.
"You might hear about it again and again on the T.V. or radio or read about it in the newspaper," it says on the page.
The Federal Emergency Management Association pulled the downloadable coloring book from its site last week — before a White House genius gave New York a 9/11 flashback by buzzing the city with one of the presidential planes and an F-16 jet.
"FEMA is currently reviewing all web content designed and posted by the previous administration," said FEMA spokesman Clark Stevens.
Meanwhile, New Yorkers who were shown the book saw just one color - red."I feel disrespected," said Jason Owens, 20, of Manhattan, who was with his 3-year-old son. "I feel like I should punch the person who did this in the face. Or maybe burn his twin towers!"
