This picture was taken from the roof of the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington DC. What you are actually seeing, is a plane, taking off from Dulles International Airport. The idea behind the image, is to show the drastically increased patriotism, and disgust in terrorism. If your immediate reaction was anger or disapproval, then I have properly communicated the message.

the image of an airplane flying into a monument is not trendy or tasteful

I think you may have some dust on your sensor or something. I see dark circles in the sky.

Taken through glass? If you get closer to the window the dirt on the glass becomes less of an issue. Either that, or of course your lens is filthy! Quite a bit of jpeg noise, and not sure how the image fits the challenge. I expect a bunch of the Americans will find it deliberately offensive - I also expect that was the point. Trends?

If this is what I think you mean, this is totally off base and WRONG!
