WTC omen?

I have found several connections between a "Lone Gunmen" episode and the WTC 9/11 tragedy.
Can someone explain me what's the deal?

Read the trivia. Here in australia it was aired minutes before 9/11 happened.

They have Special K... What happens to the Regular K

That's weird because imdb lists the Australian release date as August 31, 2001.

"You want to find the number 216 in the world, you will be able to find it everywhere. 216 steps from a mere street corner to your front door. 216 seconds you spend riding on the elevator. When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you will filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere."
Darren Aronofsky's Pi.

right after 9/11 i looked up the script. at that point it was available at:
http://www.redwolf.com.au/lgm/pilot/1aeb79.html

here's the key parts:

Byers: "I need to know our flight plan."
Frohike: [on phone] "I'm mapping the data now."
Langly: [on phone] "Byers... Your flight's going to
make an unscheduled stop. In exactly 22 minutes."
Frohike: [on phone] "The corner of Liberty and
Washington. Lower Manhattan."
Byers: "World Trade Centre." [to Bertram Byers]
They're going to crash the plane into the World Trade
Centre."
Bertram Byers: "I'll tell the flight crew."
Byers: "Langly... can you override the flight control
system?"
Langly: [on phone] "Working on it..."

and

[The headline of 'The Lone Gunman' in production
reads: 'Terrorist Act Narrowly Averted']

funny how even up to the 9/11 commission they were saying "we never even thought about the use of an airplane as a weapon."

Listen to an interview concerning this subject with actor and now documentary filmaker Dean Hagland.

http://www.infowars.com/audio/haglund.htm

He says the CIA, FBI, etc had become huge fans of the X-Files and Lone Gunman and regularly approached the writers with story ideas, strongly encouraging them to produce them onto the screen.

One of the Gunmen wrote to Fortean Times about this pilot episode. Think it was Tom Braidwood. Can't find that copy, but maybe the letter has a virtual twin...
