A Marvel’s Spider-Man clip purportedly showing an eerie reflection of the Twin Towers has garnered more than 5.1 million views on Imgur, but it’s not what it appears to be. The towers seem to be reflected on the side of a building as Spider-Man climbs it. Yet spinning the camera around reveals that there are no buildings there — they’re ghosts.

The theory was that the reflection of the World Trade Center was a tribute to 9/11. It was bolstered by the fact that when Spider-Man reached the top of the building, the view revealed was the game’s stand-in for the Freedom Tower. (The actual Freedom Tower was not used.)
