very eerie scene in this movie....


There is part in this movie...I think right after the elevator scene, where the floor opens up and multiple people fall to their deaths down the shaft. In the next scene it cuts to the President giving a speech to the country, about the elevetar accident being acredited to a terrorist attack on the building...and then it cuts to a shot of the World Trade Center.

And the movie was released in 2001....a few months before 9/11


very weird

I was thinking the same thing

I just watched this on On Demand and felt the same thing. It was like a jolt in the pit of my stomach....It was also very somber seeing the NY skyline as it once was with the World Trade Center in it....

I'm sure there's dozens of fictional scenes and scenarios -- both those put to film or paper, or still existing exclusively in their author's heads -- which would seem prescient in the face of 9/11. I myself had an idea for a short story -- actually a fanfic based on old cliffhanger serials -- in which Nazis use a refugee ship as a mobile V2 launching site against the Statue of Liberty...

There's also mention made of bin-Laden. Obviously those scenes were added AFTER 9/11.

Bin Laden was known to the U.S. government well before September 11th. The scenes did not need to be added (if they even were).


Though it is dark . . . know your flag . . . is still there.
