excellent film, and what year was that? can anybody spell "prescient"?

Eerily prescient.

$2.50/gallon gas and a drug-addled president...prescient.

It wasn't as if the collapse of WTC 7 was a huge surprise. We had been told that the building was burning and in danger of collapse for some time that day. After WTC 1 and 2 had collapsed -- an event that had previously seemed impossible to most people -- the media were very primed to be the first to report on the seemingly inevitable collapse of WTC 7. Yeah, the reporter looked pretty ridiculous standing in front of a building that had not collapsed, while reporting its collapse, but if this was some sort of a conspiracy, how is that mistake any evidence at all?

1) Option 1: The Beeb was part of the conspiracy and the reporter jumped in with her bit way too early. Uh, right. Even many of the conspiracy theorists on that BBC thread think that the BBC was most likely fed false info from some nefarious someones somewhere, rather than being part of the Cabal.

2) Option 2: The BBC, poor dupes, were fed the prescient info too early AND the reporter didn't look behind and see the intact building before reporting on its demise. This requires TWO mistakes, not just one.

3) Option 3: On a horrible, confused, overwhelming day, the reporter screwed up. No conspiracy required.

Some days, I think the 9/11 conspiracy theorists should join forces with the underpants gnomes:

1) Odd bit of data
2) ???
3) CONSPIRACY!!

Upvote for the primary material and the discussion, not for the conspiracy theories.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

So very SnowCrash. That novel gets more prescient every year.

*promote --> How very prescient

Just heard on the news that Steve Irwin has died after being stung on the chest by a stingray. Is this a prescient video? A case of synchronicity? Foreshadowing? Or, maybe just a funny commercial?

The first eight minutes of the movie, just like it says. Be sure to watch all the way to the end.

Here's a great resource posted by mlx previously - http://www.filmsite.org/netw.html

It's a great movie and it's amazing how prescient it has turned out to be. See it if you haven't, you'll see what I mean.
