The Lone Gunmen

In March 2001, Fox aired the first episode of The Lone Gunmen, which featured a geeky conspiracy buffs stopping a group of terrorists from flying a 727 into the World Trade Center. While the TV ending was a happy one, the parallels are still eerie. Co-creator Frank Spotnitz gave an interview weeks after 9/11, saying: "You assume that if you can think of it, being a Hollywood writer, then somebody in the government has thought about it already," which directly contradicts Bush's statement that "no one could have conceivably imagined suicide bombers [flying] U.S. aircraft into buildings full of innocent people."
