After nearly a month, I'm still waiting in vain for anybody to mention X-Files creator Chris Carter's prophetic "Lone Gunmen" episode about the CIA perpetrating an apparent terrorist act by taking remote control of an airliner and crashing it into the World Trade Center. It's as if this heavily promoted TV series -- which premiered March 4, 2001 but cancelled after 13 episodes -- never existed.

Relevant passages from the following synopsis of "The Lone Gunman" TV series pilot episode:

"...the Gunmen become more and more entangled in a terrorist plot (Scenario 12-D), eventually facing off against a governmental power known as Overlord...get on the targeted aircraft in an attempt to sniff out the
bomb...but unfortunately, there's no bomb on the airplane. It's being
controlled...by someone else -- Overlord...the air scene of the plane
approaching the World Trade Center was actually shot by the aerial
photographer from a helicopter, so the skyline and approach you see is
real.
