A mattress shop in Texas has apologised for what it says was a "disgusting" and "tasteless" 9/11-themed advert.
Miracle Mattress faced a backlash online after promoting a "twin tower sale", for which every mattress sold on the anniversary of the attacks would be the price of a twin mattress.
At the end of the short clip, staff fall screaming into two large towers of mattress, knocking them over.
"We'll never forget," the presenter of the clip says.
The advert was posted on the company's Facebook page but later deleted.
In a letter, Mike Bonano, the owner of Miracle Mattress, said the video had been produced at the company's San Antonio office without permission from management.
He said: "The video is tasteless and an affront to the men and women who lost their lives on 9/11. Furthermore, it disrespects the families who lost their loved ones and continue to struggle with the pain of this tragedy every day of their lives."
