The US Navy cancelled its plan to conduct flight training over New York City on Friday after it sparked outrage.

On Thursday, New York City Emergency Management announced that a Navy F/A-18 Hornet would fly over the Hudson River at 3:30 PM on Friday. The plane was expected to fly over the area at approximately 2,500 feet.

Twitter users responded with outrage, writing things like "why would you do this on 9/11" and "everybody hates this."

This Friday marks the 19th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, during which terrorists hijacked commercial airliners and flew them into the World Trade Center in New York City, N.Y. and the Pentagon in Arlington, Va. Another hijacked flight crashed in Pennsylvania.

3. On January 15th as a tribute to Capt Sully I could understand.

But doing something like this on 09/11 is grossly insensitive.

4. 365 days in a year and they picked today to do a low altitude flyby of NYC? n/t
