@magicongmbh Hey, pleased to meet you! I was one of the actors here in the commercial. Amazing situation... See u.
-
I was there too, we later built and filmed the miniatures (plane and billboard etc.) in Munich.
It was truly crazy to see the first news about 911 happening 2 days after the spot aired... but they pulled it within hours, at least very very quickly. I don't remember seeing the commercial after I saw the news about what had happened in NY

lol,i love how a german commercial is considered a part of this,lmfao

@schuminweb I see. Thanks for getting back to me. Thinking about other ways to destroy your old slogan I bet using a plane will stay in people's memories much better.

@Caellest89 Going from the materials I read at the time, Telegate was using the plane as a symbol of destroying their old slogan of "Da werden sie geholfen", as this commercial was supposed to introduce a new marketing strategy for Telegate, and the new slogan "Die kennt sich aus-kunft".
The timing for this spot, however, was quite unfortunate, as no one would have expected that people would do something very similar to what is depicted here in real life.

germany did it, right?

@DerMessermann Yes I remember. On 9 September release on tv, but only for two days, amazing!

The last Word is "Aus-kunft". "Information" in english.

Wow, hi caferasmus :-)
On 11th July? Interesting! But the computer-animations took a few weeks. So the final version was finished on september 2001.
