In 2000 users on airliner's message board discussed what would happen if an airliner crashed into the World Trade Center.

You can still view the discussion here.

IIRC the FBI did investigate and determined no foul play, nor were any of the terrorist involved in this post in any way. Just a coincidence.

As the director of security for the financial services firm Morgan Stanley at the World Trade Center,[3] Rescorla anticipated attacks on the towers and implemented evacuation procedures that were credited with saving thousands of lives.[4] He died during the attacks of September 11, 2001, going back to help evacuate more people in the South Tower after he had organized the evacuation of the Morgan Stanley offices.
