1994 was three years after 1991.

I hate to point this out to you, but there is also an order of magnitude between describing something theoretically in a book, and demonstrating the same thing over and over on a battlefield.

The latter gets a whole lot more people’s attention, and is imposible to deny.

I’m missing something. What happened in 1991? I mean, specifically in relation to this topic.

The point I was making in my post is that what Clancy described in 1994 was very close to what actually came to pass on Sept. 11, 2001.

I am not going to allege that the Jihadi’s got the idea from the book, but it’s certainly not impossible. And, as Tex pointed out, it’s also possible that some of the passengers on Flight 93 had read the same book, realized what was happening, and died preventing it.
