TRUE OR FALSE: The tragic events of 9-11 were duplicated almost exactly on television before it happened?

Based on espionage this pilot would have the main characters

discovering a deeper conspiracy beyond the faked death of one

of the cast. A cell of rogue US government intelligence men

has decided to execute Scenario 12-D, based on domestic

terrorism. The plan: take over a commercial jet by remote control

via the autopilot and send it crashing into an office building, with

the impact and fuel serving as a bomb.

This technology bore resemblance to a computer guidance

program called "Home Run," reported on 9-11 conspiracy

sites. Home Run was created in the 1970s under the Defense

Department's Advanced Projects Research Agency after a

series of terrorist hijackings of passenger jets. The project

would allow persons on the ground to take over a jet by remote

control by overriding the autopilot system.

The rationale by the TV show's "Overlord" and his men is that

the Cold War is over, and peace is not justifying more defense

spending. Fake a terrorist attempt, and any number of groups

will take responsibility. The president and Congress will quickly

react with increased funds for military needs. Reality, of course,

did give us Congress allocating more money for personnel, military

materiel and the "War on Terrorism."

The program echoed reality in too many incidences.

The jet took off from Boston, just like American Flight 11 and United

Airlines Flight 175, which ulimately struck the Trade Center. Even the

fuel capacity and low number of passengers were close.

A scary thought or reality television.....

    False, the terrorists of 9/11 which have been discovered and the Mastermind behind the attacks have been arrested and have confessed after brutal interrogation in Guantanamo Bay. The mastermind's name is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Osama Bin Laden was trained by the CIA, during the time the US was helping the now Terrorists rebel against the Afgan Government. He used the training against us.

    False, your theory falis to mention any gain for America by putting more taxpayer money into the military. What is the point of giving more money to the military? There is no point, America has nothing to gain.

    Especially when we need the money dumped into the home economy, to the infrastructure, more than anywhere else. It would have kept Obama from putting us in debt to a communist country, for crying out loud.
