Crashing highjacked planes was a known scenario. In fact, FOX broadcast a fictionalized scenario where a commercial airliner was highjacked and set on a crash course with the WTC about six months before 9/11/01.
- mirimir 11y agoThat needs a link. I find http://911blogger.com/news/2013-05-16/hollywood-and-911-movies-and-tv-dramas-resembling-terrorist-attacks-were-being-produced-september-2001 http://911blogger.com/news/2013-05-16/hollywood-and-911-movi... but nothing there about anything broadcast on Fox.

First episode: https://youtu.be/EjbQ-BDh4PU https://youtu.be/EjbQ-BDh4PU Edit: the author of your link addresses the episode in the comments section, "The Lone Gunmen Pilot Episode", and says that the article you linked was only focused on things "in production" when the attack occurred.
- DrScump 11y agoWow, I had forgotten that series (X-Files spinoff). Vince Gilligan was an Executive Producer. The actor playing the father, George Coe, was one of the original Not Ready for Prime Time Players on SNL, then later played Ben Cheviot on "Max Headroom".
- mirimir 11y agoThanks. WTC was an iconic target, for sure.
- xbmcuser 11y agoTom Clancy's wrote a fictional book about lone mentally disturbed Japanese pilot flying a plane into the pentagon. I read it that book maybe a few weeks before 9/11. Was shocked that the US intelligence didnt see something like this happening when a fiction author did.
- s_q_b 11y agoTrying to recall the name, but I believe it was a decapitation strike on the Capitol during the State of the Union.
