Today is of course the anniversary of 9-11, and as we all went about our day folks are careful about how they speak because of the tragedies of that day 13 years ago.
The Pittsburgh Penguins twitter account used a poor choice of words given the day. Of course, there was no malicious intent, just a cringeworthy moment.
The tweet was soon deleted and an apology was issued.
Our apologies for the tweet earlier, it was an insensitive choice of words as we reflect and remember today. Never forget.
