Eerie 9/11 predictions

What I have here are some pre-9/11 advertisements and cartoons that evoked images of what would happen on that tragic day, September 11, 2001. I'll let you guys do the discussion about all this, but keep it civil.

On another note, I honestly did not know where to put this, but it's a political discussion in some way, so it will go here. Mods, if you feel otherwise, let me know.

What predictions exactly, OP?

The 9/11 attacks. The proof are in the above links.

I saw the pictures. Only a couple have planes in them, and none actually depict planes crashing into the buildings? I see the Cookie Monster devouring some buildings, but I don't remember seeing the Cookie Monster on that day.

The second link has a few pictures w/airplanes in them, actually.

What second link?

The one below the image I posted in the first post.

Record album jackets, scenes in movies, magazine ads, comic book pics, scenes in TV shows, TV commercials- anything- with the NYC skyline- done in the last three decades of the 20th Centurey is going to have the trade center towers as a prominent feature.

So the occasional visual pun (like that Bart Simpson thing) is going to be inevitable given the gigantic quantity of visual content in the media that features the NYC skyline.

Planes, accidently or purposely, crashing into iconic structures is an obvious theme for violent thrillers.

I think its just coincidence.

Things more eerie than these have occured that seem to be premonitions, but upon investigation are not so necessarily paranormal premonitions.

The London Blitz (you could say) was portrayed in a movie before it actually happened.

The best selling science fiction novel "the Shape of Things to Come" was made into a major motion picture in 1936. The story ( an imaginative vision of a centurey of future history) starts with a global war breaking out around the year 1940. In this future war a fleet of planes bombs London, and reduces it to flames.

And then September first 1939 Hitler invaded Poland starting the real World War Two. And a year or so later the Luftwaffe was rountinely bombing London with huge fleets of planes and setting the city ablaze.

The bombing scene is rather crude (a goofy mix of mono and biplanes-all obviously models on strings) when compared to later (even early low budget) world war two movies, but the fact that it was filmed four years before the war that its unwittingly 'depicting' even STARTED still makes the scene rather eerie to watch.

In the late 1890's a former merchant marine sailor published a novel about a maritime disaster: a giant luxury ocean liner hitting an iceberg on its transatlantic maiden voyage and sinking with most of its several thousand passengers and crew. The name of the fictional liner was "the Titan".

Years later, in 1912, the real Titanic set off on its maiden voyage.

This reminds me of the Lynard Skynard album cover that showed flames behind the ones that died in the plane crash.
I have a Chock Full O' Nuts coffee can that has the towers on it,The new cans don't.

Can I see pics of both?

Also, in the matrix, neo's drivers license or passport or something had a 9-11-01 on it.
Then there was an episode of 'the lone gunmen' the x-files spinoff where the plot was terrorists flying a plane into the WTC.

Bush senior had his "new world order" speech on 9-11-91
groundbreaking for the pentagon was on 9-11-41

Some things may not actually be predictive, but are certainly coincidental.

Again, confirmation bias. Leaders were talking about "new world order" on other days as well. You're just being selective.

And, given that all sorts of disasters were depicted crashing into the Twin Towers and other prominent buildings in media way before 9/11, it's hardly a prediction to be amazed about if two planes ended up years later doing so in reality to just two (or rather three if including Pentagon) among other buildings.

Maybe all of the NORAD drills about hijacked airliners and flying planes into buildings scheduled for early-mid September 2001 in New York and New England could be considered an eerie prediction too? And all of the MIC, oil, so on stocks that were bought and sold at the World Trade Center itself - in a concentrated rush leading up to the attacks?

Or could that just be swept under the rug as "confirmation bias"?

If NORAD magically saved the day on 9/11, you might have a point. But they didn't - they bungled it just like the FAA and everyone else. So it would appear that those drills did absolutely nothing on 9/11



Commodities being traded in the "World Trade Center" is hardly shocking. Especially given that the vast majority of the tenants in the building were financial services companies whose *entire existence* was based on trading stocks.

One they and you didn't mention is the album Toxicity by the rock group System of a Down. It is widely thought to be about 9/11 but it was actually released September 3, 2001.
