This meme originates from the historical moment on September 11, 2001, when White House Chief of Staff Andy Card whispered into President George W. Bush's ear while he was reading to children at Emma E. Booker Elementary School. The image captures the President’s stunned, frozen expression as he was informed that a second plane had struck the World Trade Center. On the internet, the template is widely used to humorously announce the arrival of unexpected, often mildly inconvenient or absurd news. The format typically follows the 'Sir, a second [X] has hit the [Y]' phrasing, making it a versatile tool for satirical commentary on everything from pop culture drops to niche community drama.
