US government dumps children's colouring book that depicts 9/11
The 25-page book, called A Scary Thing Happened, was approved by the Bush administration.
Its cover shows a childlike drawing of one of the Twin Towers in flames, with a hijacked plane looming close to the second tower.
The image is repeated three times on page 12, where readers can colour in the flames.
The book also features a scene reminiscent of the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
Makers said it was prepared by a crisis response team to help children "cope with disasters".
However, it has since been removed from the website of the Federal Emergency Management Agency after apparently being vetoed by Barack Obama's administration.
