Loose Change Second Edition, a film about the events of Septemer 11th 2001, has become a net phenomenon — it currently (18th May 2006) holds the 1st, 4th and 26th places on the Google Video top 100 and this is in competion with lots of very short titillation clips (eg Webcam Girls Go Wild) and dubious humour clips (eg funny clips baby fart).

However it's not the most accurate movie of its type — see the discussion on indybay and the detailed Sifting Through Loose Change — The 9-11 Research Companion.
