I remember plenty of talk about the threat of hijacked airliners as weapons in the 90s; I seem to recall Tom Clancy or some other thriller writer putting it in one of his books and in March 2001 the 'Lone Gunmen' spinoff from the X-files began with a show about some shady government agency hijacking airliners to crash into the World Trade Center.
Lots of people predict lots of things that later come true; the hard part is figuring out which of those predictions are correct _before_ they come true
