Two 19-year-old british women won a nightclub costume contest on Oct. 31 when they dressed up as the North and South "Flaming" Towers of the World Trade Center attacked by terrorist Osama Bin Laden on Sep. 11, 2001 in New York City.
According to The Sun, which chose the story for its front-page headline with the title "Towering Stupidity", the girls were awarded with £150 for winning the "best dressed" competition at a Halloween party at Rosies nightclub in Chester, England.
Amber Langford and Annie Collinge included in their costumes hats with American flags and airplanes crashing into each of Twin Towers with flames coming out of the buildings.
President of 9/11 victims' organization The FealGood Foundation, John Feal, described the incident as "shameful", The Sun reported.
"The insensitivity level of this act of ignorance is topped by none. As for the nightclub who allowed it, sponsored it and endorsed it, shame on you," Feal told The Sun.
"If any offence was caused, we apologize," the teens said in a statement.
Back in 2001, around 3,000 people died in al-Qaeda terrorist organization's attack when two airplanes hit each tower causing them to collapse.
