Over a week ago, before the attack on the World Trade Center in NY, the first episode of Chris Carter's (X-Files creator) tv show called The Lone Gunman started on Oz tv. I taped it but just watched it today.

This first episode was screened in the U.S. in March this year. It showed control of a commercial passenger aircraft being taken over by computer hacking and being flown so that it would crash into the World Trade Center. Of course, being tv-land, the crash was averted at the last possible minute.

This week I have been saying to my friends that the ideas, plans, & manouevres, etc that Hollywood and the tv producers have staged would make excellent research for real-life criminals and terrorists.

Now I am thinking that this is too much of a coincidence - too close for comfort.
