'Blast' CD scrapped
THE picture above looks exactly like the horrific moment terrorists struck in New York on Tuesday.
But the shocking picture of the twin towers of the World Trade Center exploding in flames was produced three months BEFORE the tragedy for a CD album cover.
Now record company 75 Ark has ordered all the covers to be destroyed and replaced before the CD, Party Music, is released on November 5.
Terror ... Tuesday's explosion
The dramatic picture was created for US hip hop group The Coup's CD. It shows rappers Boots Riley and DJ Pam The Funkstress blowing up the ill-fated skyscrapers.
The design, created in June, eerily shows a ball of flames in the exact spot where the second passenger jet hit the South Tower.
Boots Riley says: "The intent of the cover was to use the World Trade Center to symbolise capitalism.
"But there is an uncanny similarity to the events of Tuesday.
"All life is precious and this tremendous tragedy is by no means taken lightly by The Coup. This is a very unfortunate coincidence and my condolences go out to the families and friends of the victims."
This is the second album to be scrapped in the wake of the disaster.
Heavy metal group Dream Theater's Live Scenes From New York has also been pulled.
It showed the Manhattan skyline, including the twin towers of the World Trade Center and the Statue Of Liberty, in flames.
