Coincidences and Unusual Connections disovered in retrospect (not intentional foreshadowing):
9:00 Man in ad saying the he 's not jumping off the building. (Coincidental reference, not intentional foreshadowing)
13:22 Just after AA11 departed, a TV host says: "We have a breach in security." (Coincidental reference, not intentional foreshadowing)
16:36 President bush is leaving for his visit to Sarasota, not knowing he will be holding a difficult speech there about the attacks.
17:00 "Three numbers that can save your life - 911" (Numerical coincidence)
18:23 An elderly couple is celebrating their 54th year of being married in New York. They got married in 47. 5+4=9, 4+7=11, (9/11) (Numerical coincidence)
27:55: During the hijacking of flight 11, an ad is showing a paper plane flying low through Manhattan. Inside of the plane is written: I'm on my way. Behind the woman who is throwing the paper plane is an artwork whose shape reminds of the twin towers (Ironic coincidence, not implying intentional foreshadowing)
31:55 CNN reports about an expansion project for the Capitol in Washington D.C. which was the target of Flight 93. (not intentional foreshadowing)
38:55 One of the last times the date "September 11th" has been spoken out without the relations to terrorist attacks. The man's voice cracked when he spoke it out. (Coincidental mention, not intentional foreshadowing)
51:49 CNN advertises a report: "When the big one hits", 8 minutes before flight 11 hits the WTC. (Scheduling coincidence, not implying intentional foreshadowing.)
52:04 The weatherman says that fortunately the hurricane moves away from the US. If it didn't move away, it may have prevented the terrorists planes taking off that day. (Speculative observation)
1:00:12 After 9/11, President Bush created the Office of Homeland Security. Tom Ridge, who is shown on screen just seconds after the first plane hit, became the first head of the office. (Historical fact, established in response to 9/11)
1:02:29 The flying papers flying around in the ad look very similar to the scene happening at the same time at the world trade center. (Observational similarity, not implying intentional foreshadowing)
Errors:
1:00:02 The photo on the information board is incorrect. It doesn't show Chief Joseph Pfeifer who made the radio message but his brother Lieutenant Kevin Pfeifer who died on 9/11.
2:13:27 The photo on the information board is incorrect. It doesn't show Chief Joseph Pfeifer who made the radio message but his brother Lieutenant Kevin Pfeifer who died on 9/11.
