    That IS weird! I DID think that his father, IIRC, being upside down was WEIRD! I thought the tire flames were weird. HECK, It didn't even go fast enough. I thought that NINE was weird! I don't believe I noticed the twin/lone pines switch, but one has to wonder "WHY!?!?!?!?!?".

    Still, the deal with the terrorists was to logically finish the plot, and not unusual. The vehicle was created so late because they needed a LOT of power. They equated that with radioactive, so the doctor needed plutonium. He arranged with some terrorists to have them help HIM steal the plutonium under the pretense that HE was helping THEM. When they found out, that they got NOTHING, they wanted to kill him. Don't ask me WHY they didn't even have a Geiger counter, which you need for LOTS of reasons! The ONLY place that didn't really have the technology, and REALLY wanted it, was the middle east, and this WAS after the violent Iranian COUP. It DOES make one wonder how such things appear. Sometimes I notice such things in my life and wonder WHY!?!?!?!? So it may not even be intentional.

    These kind of things usually bore me to death. This one, however has me scratching my head. The scene where you can see the towers actually falling and the guy hanging upside down is WEIRD.

    I've seen a lot of "portents" about 9/11. Some are such stretch they're ridiculous, and some are just down right spooky in the "I just saw a ghost" sense of spooky.

    What if someone from the future came back and made some of those "predictions". Just a new perspective on stuff that already gets a little freaky sometimes.

    I found the video quite interesting. Also looked into the director (Robert Zemeckis) and I was surprised to find his upcoming film to be "The Walk":

    "The Walk is an upcoming American biographical film directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Christopher Browne and Zemeckis. It is based on the story of French high-wire artist Philippe Petit's walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center on August 7, 1974."

    Well he definitely likes to focus on the towers, perhaps more tower referrences are in his other movies (Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Polar Express, A Chrismas Carol, etc.)

        Time traveller possible, but unlikely!

        Predicting the future, likely!

        Being part of this, probably not, he would clam up if he was!


        No doubt the skeptics will dismiss this as an incredible stroke of luck, (as always) but when the odd's are this high, then an open mind has to take peeking into the future as a real possibility.

        5000 showing up on that day, (instead of the usual 100,000) wasn't a fluke, most of them sensed or knew something horrible was about to take place!

          The first plane hit at 8:46. Would 100,000 people REALLY be there by 8:46? I mean if I saw that happen, I would be worried about the AREA and probably not want to be within 5 blocks of that building. SERIOUSLY, I would likely try to take a circuitous route back home and call in saying that I saw a plane hit the North tower and am afraid of the viability of EITHER building, or places for 5 blocks around! WHY 5 blocks? Well, the building could take the better part of 3 blocks if it fell in one piece. 2 blocks might be enough to handle most of the debris. That isn't allowing for dust, flying pieces, inertia, etc.... though. BTW many got STUCK trying to go to work.

            Depends whether they start work at 8.30 or 9.00 am?

          The most ridiculous assertion I have seen in awhile.

          Man, people are really desperate in their lives to spend time uncovering silly stuff like this that is not even an impressive coincidence

          Just grabbing for straws here.

              bravo, I hope you were not thinking I was addressing you in particular with my Quote earlier.

              I was addressing the guy who made the video and the narrator who I assume is the one who believes in this.

              You are NOT silly but they are.

              it is interesting and fun to try to make connections but it
              is nothing to take seriously.

                  Yeah, I like making connections and pondering about tings. It can interesting and fun.

                  Btw, it took a lot of creativity for the guy in video to come up with those connections/details.

    Oh no! Not another 9/11 debate. It's already been done. This is about Back To The Future, the movie, man!

    Prophetic? I doubt it. Although, you never know. There are some very weird things in the 7 minute video I posted.

      I'll grant ya that one. I think the clock in the tower was a stretch though - 9/11 looked more like hitting 10:00 to me, although I can see what they did there.

      I also find it interesting when someone brings up a Disney movie and shows all the hidden innuendos in those. Who'd have noticed some of that crap? Yet there it is. Looked straight at it without seeing it.

      Anyhow - I enjoy this type of analysis of just about any subject relating to about any movie. Makes ya stop and think and I think it creates a mind that is more aware and in tune to what is going on around it.

      I watched a video once about how "the shining", IIRC, spoke about how the moon landing was faked. Interestingly there was a scene NEAR IDENTICAL in concept to the falling towers here!

      IIRC, It showed a kid playing with model trucks on a carpet that looked very much like the idea of the launch site. Of course, you would likely be watching the kid at some point, who was like the father in BTTF. OK, so WHAT about the ROCKET? I mean there HAD to be a ROCKET, RIGHT? And what about the BLASTOFF(like the falling towers)? Well, the kid got up, and there was a rocket design on his shirt! It was almost like the missing rocket, and where you would expect it, and it was taking off!

      One really wonders. As I said, I have seen similar things happen in my life that are erie, so I am not saying it is intentional even if it is clear cut, but it makes you wonder, There is a series of films called "final destination". Of course, they are ALL a bit different, but they have a GLARINGLY similar plot.

      1. DEATH does its work by designing disasters.
      2. It can plan ANYTHING, but it generally MUST be in order. It can slip up, and come back, but each time it tries the order.
      3. Each plan is broadcast before it occurs. It is broadcast in an obvious, albeit subtle and symbolic way, LIKE THESE MOVIES.
      4. You can change it if you work fast enough but the only way to stop it is apparently to have a life pop up that is not in its plan but that wouldn't have occured if it had succeeded. In one case, at least, a woman that was saved had a baby, and that stopped it.

      Anyway, the movie series is always about kids that manage to survive a disaster, find out the rules, and try to avoid getting killed. I wonder, because this kind of idea is expressed a LOT.

        Back to the Future was produced by STEVEN SPIELBERG

        Steven Spielberg also directed E.T. which most people think was FICTION but was actually a DOCUMENTARY! The GOVERNMENT knew they couldn't PREVENT the release of E.T. so they FORCED Spielberg to add cheesy special effects and Reese's Pieces to the movie so that everybody would think it was JUST A STORY!

        Obviously what happened was that E.T. told Spielberg what was going to happen on 9/11 so he snuck the TRUTH into Back to the Future!!!

        P.S. This whole thread would be hilarious if I hadn't met people who actually believed in this sort of garbage.
        P.P.S. Was my (mis)use of capital letters correct? After all, everyone knows that anything written in ALL CAPS is TRUE!

            Predicting the future is obviously impossible for any human to do, eventhough we are still trying to figure out what time is, and certain parts of us are a total mystery!

            I recommend you research it first before making "see spot run" statements!

    Well, I guess we can interpret what we see however we want. For example, I didn't see a single 911 in this video. What I saw were a 1:16, a 9:56, a 1:19, a building sign for an auto place and 2 burning tire tracks, and as far as the "all seeing eye", for many people it means money. Perhaps THAT was what Spielberg was trying to say with that eye - that he expected the move to be a huge money maker

    And I didn't see the towers fall. I saw a TV screen that had a short V-Hold issue. For those of you too young to remember, those old tube TVs experienced this a lot.

    All this clip said to me was that when people have a LOT of time on their hands they can see "conspiracy" anywhere. It's not that I don't think there are conspiracies. I just draw the line at silliness

      Agreed for the most part. I did, however, think that this was one of the better ones. Most of these things are absolute nonsense. This one, however, had me watching with great interest.

      There WAS at least one 911 as I recall. still, if you look at the mirror copy of 116 upside down, it comes out 911. 119 flipped is 911. But YEAH. I remembered a code that is in nearly every disney movie, and a number of cartoons, etc... I believe it is like A3211. It was a room number a lot of them studied animation in. Anyway, while looking for THAT, I found one person that pointed out how some characters showed up years earlier in other movies. HE acted like it was a conspiracy or a nod. I would have figured a remnant in a program, or a stock object. You can bet disney has a TON of stock objects. I mean they aren't going to struggle creating the perfect dog, after they have already done it thousands of times.

        I remember back in the early 80s, I was watching a TV show (The Incredible Hulk) and there was a scene where the character had a red car and was driving through a desert in a red car was starting to overheat. I remember thinking how that scene looked very familiar.

        Well, turned out it was "borrowed" from a (Spielberg) movie called Duel with Dennis Weaver.

        Stock and borrowed footage is very commonplace I would imagine...it's fun to spot that kind of thing
