Weird 9/11 Precognition Thread

Did anyone else have any weird precog or syncrohinicty just before they heard the news of 9/11.
I was sitting in my local (had the day off) next to a cigarette machine which had a big picture of the New York skyline, with the Twin Towers in the centre.
The jukebox was playing the Clash's 'Rock the Casbah', and just as it was getting to the line 'Sherif don't like it', the landlady switched the big football screen, and we saw the result of the first plane hitting (this was before the second plane hit).
 
I was working nights over 10/11 sept. It was pretty quiet so I was reading a book. The book I was reading was 'Survivor' by Chuck palahniuk (sp?) about the last survivor of a fanatical religious suicide cult who hijacks an airliner and crashes it to kill himself.
Quite gave me the shivers the next day when i saw the news!
 
I was on the University bridging course (for students going straight in to 2nd or 3rd year)

We were doing team-building type exercises, one of which involved constructing 'a device to catch an egg dropped from a great height.'

The great height turned out to be the roof: the 'catchers' were in the car park 8 floors beneath. Much hilarity, only 1 of about a dozen eggs survived.

Then the 'droppers' returned to ground level, and reported seeing a newsflash about the WTC on TV as they passed a staff room.

We obviously didn't know then that people had been driven to jump, but I got a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach all the same. Just thinking about it makes me feel the same way....
 
There were no weird circumstances surrounding my learning of it, but perhaps this thread can also be for "where were you" posts?

I was on the bus on my way to work when it actually happened. I had no clue of it until I walked into the office and everyone was talking about it.

My parents were babysitting my daughter and had the tv tuned to her children's programs, which were not interrupted with the news, so they didn't even know until late morning when I called them to ask if they'd seen the news...
 
I was in my local offy to get some cider.

The owner came out of the back room and said:

"Bloody Hell! A plane's just crashed into the WTC in New York..."

I went back home and put on the TV in time to see the fuss in Washington (was it a bomb?), and the second WTC crash. The fact that the weather was so good in NY seemed somehow inappropriate for something so horrendous...
 
My sister visited the WTC the week before that Tuesday. She said that during her visit she felt like crying the whole time she was there.. it was probably just the buildings' overwhelming countenance that made her feel so emotional.She couldn't help but think of how many people she saw in those buildings that were gone the following week.

I was at work that day when a coworker told me that a sightseeing plane had hit one of the towers...we reached the break room and turned on the TV in time to see the second plane hit the other building. When we realized that they were passenger airliners, it began to sink in...

I live near an international airport and the lack of air traffic in the skies above seemed eerie. I went out that day wondering how something like that could happen on such a glorious day. As I pulled out of our parking lot, a pick up truck drove by with a young boy riding in the back, barely able to hold a huge American flag as it flapped in the breeze. The driver was crying. Strange days, indeed.
 
Because I was working nights, and because of the time difference, I woke up just in time to turn on the tv and see the second plane hit. I was frantic because I knew a friend of mine who lived in NY had been on holiday to visit her parents and was due to fly back that day on an internal flight. It took hours to get news of her, but when I heard she was ok it was the most relief I had ever felt. Then I heard that 2 guys i knew from college had died at WTC and I just didn't know what to think or how to react.
 
I was watching a program on New York about a month or so before the event, I remember looking at the twin towers and thinking to myself "It's a miracle that no one's flown a plane into them". Freaked me out no end.

A friend of mine told me that she woke the night before because she could smell burning and had an acrid taste in her mouth. She of course checked her home to see if anything was amiss and found nothing out of place.

(note to myself: check spelling before posting :rolleyes: )

I live near the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport and I agree, it was so weird not seeing any planes flying over. Then when there were military planes and helicopters, I wasn't sure if it made me feel more secure or more scared.

There were a lot of people on the bridges over freeways holding huge flags over them. It was such a surreal feeling.


AV: I'm sorry about your friends...
 
I don't remember feeling anything about it in advance . I was at work , people kept coming in and asking me what was happening , like they thought because I sold newspapers I had knowledge of breaking news , I only had a radio.
I had a nasty dream last night that I was living in a housing estate next to a railway line,and I knew a train was going to plough into my house and I was sitting there trying to work out how it could because I lived back away from the lines,but I still knew it was going to happen . The air felt full of death. I haven't had a dream like that for years . Hope nothing is going to happen .
 
I was working at a market research company (worst job ever) and was working in the morning, which was rare for me at the time. It was right acroos the street from the Mall of America. I walked in and got to work calling people right away, as I knew none of the other day workers. They were all standing around chatting, but I didn't think anything of it. On my first call, I got a guy who sounded super upset, and when I told him where I was calling from, he started yelling at me and then stopped and asked where I was calling from. I told him, and he seemed shocked that I didn't know what was going on. He told me and I hung up. Right after that they evecuated us, in case the mall was a target.
 
I was playing Balder's Gate 2. I didn't find out until much later :(

Depressingly enough September 11th is the anniversary of me starting my current job. The day the war begain in Afghanistan, October 7th, is my birthday. :(

Niles ":eek!!!!:" Calder
 
In the early morning hours of September 11th, I woke up from a dream where I was trapped in the rubble of a fallen building. I was buried in debris from the waist up, and I don't remember calling for help in the dream, but I do remember that it felt like I was in a parking garage.
 
I was sleeping at college... girlfriend called and woke me up. Classes weren't even cancelled. And I was in Rochester, NY, which is somewhat near NYC.
Only weird thing... me and her celebrate our annivesary (of when we started dating) on the 11th of every month... so it was kinda weird celebrating our 9 month anniversary the same day as the 6 month anniverary of the attacks.

Plus, her sister lives in NY and saw one of the planes hit. Ech.
 
My work takes me quite a lot to NYC. I was working in the US for about 10 days at the end of June last summer and found myself in New York. Having had a full weekend of travel and meetings I decided to take an afternoon off and went down to the south end of Manhattan. I went to the Strand bookstore in the South Street Seaport area and bought a few books, one of which was 'Underworld' by Don DeLillo which I'd had recommended to me. The copy I bought was missing a jacket cover.

As that day was my mothers birthday, I decided to give her a call and thought it would be cool to phone from the top of the WTC south tower a mile or so's walk away. I still have the entrance ticket pinned here in front of my desk.

I got back and put 'Underworld' to one side. A day or two before 9/11 I started to read the book - the action starts in the NY/NJ area and also contains a lot of reference to the Fresh Kills landfill site where the WTC debris ended up. 9/11 then happened and I reflected on how easily I could have been in the area at the time. I was also slightly freaked at the Fresh Kills reference. To complete the picture I noticed a copy of 'Underworld in my local bookstore. The jacket cover depicts an eerie photograph of the WTC with the tops shrouded in mist by Hungarian photographer Andre Kerstesz.

Not exactly a premonition but enough bring a shiver.
 
Embarrasingly enough, I was in a cinema watching "Scary Movie 2".
 
I should've learnt my lesson from sitting through the first one.

My dad owns Underworld and the picture is on both sides of the book in monochrome (I have it here with me now). He noticed that the bird on the right of the picture looks like a plane turning in the distance... an eerie photograph you're right. Could you PM me a quick review if it's not too much trouble, as I'm planning to read it sometime? Thanks.
