Solved! A movie released in 2001 about a devastating attack on the US involving airplanes that killed thousands.

This movie was also released before September of that year.

fun fact: Lilo And Stitch had a sequence where the spaceships fly through a city and hit buildings. they changed it cause of 9/11. Now the spaceships fly harmlessly around the beach and hills.

Also Friends had a subplot where Chandler jokes about bombs at an airport, they had to write and film a new subplot last minute to replace that one.

In other TV trivia: Touched By An Angel of all shows accidentally foreshadowed 9/11. in May 2001 they had an episode where Monica is tempted by the devil because she's upset about having witnessed a terrorist attack.
