Eurocopter AS355 TwinStar

The film's summer 2001 trailer featured a sequence of Spider-Man capturing a gang of bank robbers by trapping their Eurocopter AS355 TwinStar in a giant web spun between the Twin Towers as they tried to fly away. The trailer was later pulled from theaters following the destruction of the World Trade Center on September 11th of that year. It is not known if this scene was intended for inclusion in the actual movie, or if it was just filmed for the trailer.
