Did the plane idea come from hollywood?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

Just curious, I heard some reporter talking how the footage of the planes look like a scene from a hollywood movie. Do you think it a possibility?

You know.... i thought the same thing this AM after this all set in. I recall the action movies hubby and the kids would watch like airforce 1, then the one with the football game and geeze, but ya know if it was like Hollywood, if and its a big IF we had to shoot the Pittsburg plane down then you'd think before hand they could ahve done a rescue like in the movie. i sure hopt it shake sup hollywood because i saw on my msn homepage that Hollywood shut down for the day.

I have to wonder if there will be any copycats. Just a few mins ago there was a report on the news that they found a person (s?) with explosives under the George Wash bridge.

I was thinking more of Independence Day.

My husband works only 20 minutes from NYC and he said he could see it from our side of the river. NJ

They just said on the TV that an explosive laden van was stopped and the people arrested. They also said, earlier that there were 8 planes highjacked when there were only the four. We'll learn the truth as time goes on.

My husband said that some people in the rubble are calling on their cell phones for help. It's hard to believe that anyone could live through that.

The movie "Executive Decision" is very similar.

Try Tom Clancy's books, Debt of Honor and Executive Orders. annette

I may be wrong on this, but it looked a whole lot like the schematics of the hi-jacked Air Force One being slammed into the corner of a skyscraper in "Escape From New York". Later I know they landed on top of the World Trade Center, so it may not acutally have been the same building, but it certainly reminded me of that movie.

Nostradamus. He said New York would burn. I think his preditiction had something to do with 2 tall buildings. I have the Ancient Prophecy tapes, but I havn't watched them for a while. My Sister in law told me yesterday he had mentioned 2 tall buildings.

Cindy, what did Nostradamus say would happen after the two tall buildings incident. I know I am fearing war. World wars have been fought over less than this. Maybe I am just being paranoid and should up my Prozac dosage, but could this be the beginning of something even worse (if thats possible?). Sorry to be a downer. It all seems somewhat unreal. It really does seem like the scene from some action flick and I keep having to remind myself that this horror is real.

Alison, I dont know about Nostradamus' prophesies, but I do know that for over 30 years now, Pentecostal Christians from all over the world, have been talking about having visions of the entire city of New York being on fire, and all the underground tunnels collapsing. They felt it was an earthquake that triggered the castrophe.

I remember that daffodyllady, wasn't it Benny Hinn that said he saw NY on fire? Oh I wish I would have taped it. I really like Benny Hinn and watch him alot. I fell asleep during the live show of TBN last night. Maybe I missed it. I'll have to watch today if I can. I have so much to do here outside.

Cindy, my son and I were emailing each other and his memory of Nostradamus came up, (my son has such a memory!) and remembered watching a special on cable tv about Nostradamus predictions 4 yrs ago and he recalled it as this; world war III would start when a Mid- Eastern leader attacked the new world on the east coast in "The New City"....they said on the special that he must have been talkin about New York... I am NOT into tv/movies so can't put in my two cents on movies haven't seen one in ages. Truth, not sure how I feel towards predictors either, but this Nostradamus guy sure had a unique longsight into things. I have glanced through the book about Nostradamus predictions, but the doom became so depressing I quit it. So sadden over all of this disaster and I sure hope every "single" soul responsible for the horrific act is found and put to death. Yes I strongly believe in an eye for an eye. What saddens me too, is the thought of the innocent (such as the children) and their citizens amongest their evil that will also suffer should they be in the line of the target(s). If only it was possible that our government could seek and destory only those solely responsible and involved. I don't see that happening, their cowardly organization(s) will hide amongest others who can't get away or are innocently at the wrong place at the wrong time when we find them. I don't want to find myself judging an entire ethnic group as responsible for the sickening maniac actions of those devils. Just wish that only the responsible minds behind those actions would be taken down. Just a dream from this horrible nightmare. God Bless AMERICA and the WORLD. Good ALWAYS prevails evil. Debb

I've got a book on the prophecies of Nostradamus and here's what it says about New York: Century I, Quatrain #87; Earthshaking fire from the center of the earth will cause tremors around the New City. Two great rocks will war for a long time, then Arethusa will redden a new river. The author's interpretation of this quatrain is: An explosion in the center of the city of New York making the land tremble, or could tour (in the french version) here mean towers or skyscrapers? The two great rocks are the immutable great powers who will eventually open war. Commentators interpret Arethusa as coming from Ares, God of War, and U.S.A. The new river is presumably blood. There is also mention of New York in other quatrains regarding ash type debris, contamination of the water supply, and the leader being hidden in an underground bunker. If you're really interested, head for your local library or search the internet further.

Or, you could read Revelation. Lot of what is to come in there.

Nostradamus' prediction on WW3: "In the year of the new century and nine months, From the sky will come a great King of Terror... The sky will burn at forty-five degrees. Fire approaches the great new city..." "In the city of york there will be a great collapse, 2 twin brothers torn apart by chaos while the fortress falls the great leader will succumb third big war will begin when the big city is burning"

MIND you,once this has been in print for a few centuries, it's very easy for someone to fit the realization to the prophecy by emulating what is already written. The rest of it is all very vague stuff if you ask me. We have seen plenty of religious extremists -- including some from the US of A -- who have attempted to kick-start their Armegeddon by causing the events that are 'predicted' to herald the end.

I suppose if you believe that Fate controls everything, then it gets more credible. If you believe in free will, then the future has not yet been written.

Just a note. The part of the Pentagon hit had "River" in it's name.
