A few months prior to the 9/11 attacks, the premiere episode of the "X-Files" spinoff "The Lone Gunmen" told of a plot to crash an airline into the World Trade Center.

I think that's how it was in the original draft, but the writers decided that it just wasn't aerodynamic enough.

Star Trek (and other sci fi shows) predicted lots of technological advances.
Doctor Who predicted that the UK moetary system would change to decimals, that there would be a female british PM in the 80s and that a tenth planet would be discovered.
Year of the Sex Olympics predicted the reality TV show craze back in the 60s.

The abortive "Lone Gunman" series was run several years ago, long before 9/11 was even on the drawing board. It's not impossible that the the idea originated with the show. Someone who watched it may have been so impressed that he suggested it to thew al Qaeda hierarchy.

Sorry, Doc. "The Lone Gunmen" ran in 2001. Check out http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243069/
