I loved that spin-off series.
So sad they killed off the Lone Gunmen in the final episode.

The funny(?) thing is, those TV producers now have better track records prediction-wise than all the "psychics" out there.

the burning tail seems a bit Flight 587-ish doesn't it? ... oops I've gone and done it ... anytime now, there will be calls for tin foil alerts ... after all, the engines just shake off of a passenger plane everyday ... not ...

[Bobby777]

p.s. like your handle ... LOL ... wasn't that Judith Krantz of the New York Post who gave that moniker to Christine Ammanpour?

Here's a bigger one.

Actually, the aircraft was remotely piloted by someone in the "government" to create a war, if I remember correctly. It was not terrorists from outside the U.S. They were from within and the tall skinny suit's (can't remember his name on the show) dad knew of the plot and the government tried to kill him, but he faked his own death and was able to warn his son and his son's buddies about the crash. It involved some sort of superchip, too.

Finally, someone gets it!

Actually, it was Andrea Peyser, from the NY Post. But close enough... :)

Actually, I made the connection within hours at work with some friends. It was kind of eerie.

I clicked on the link to the story and followed the link to the video from there, and it worked fine.

Kind of makes Condoleeza Rices statement that "nobody had any idead this could happen" sound ridiculous

I liked it a lot. I didn't remember the scene until I actually watched the clip again, and then it came back to me. Kind of spooky.

"What's disturbing about it to me is, you think as a fiction writer that if you can imagine this scenario, then the people in power in the government who are there to imagine disaster scenarios can imagine it, too."

Of course, not even the TV show imagined suicide hijackers.

And in real life we weren't going to get "remote controlled planes."

If we start expecting our government to anticipate and prepare for every act of terrorism imagined by fiction, we might as well have our soldier on alert for everything that ever happened in a James Bond movie or "X-men" comic book.

(Bill Naylor): Sept. 11, 2001 was UN's International Day of Peace - "On this International Day of Peace, let us dare to imagine a world free of conflict and violence." (Kofi Annan, earlier in the day, Sept. 11, 2001; UN Press Release.)
