There's a popular "urban myth" that a March 2001 episode of the X Files predicted 9/11 to a "t."

It's not a myth.

Aired in March of 2001

Interesting. A similar thing happened in the Mack Bolan series of novels; one of the writers projected that a commercial airliner would be used to bomb a civilian target about ten years before it happened. Some would say that's a sign that people do think up some very scary things.

Presumably even members of Al-Quaeda watch the X Files?

That was exactly my thought when I saw this but our gov has been involved with skulduggery before so nothing would surprise me.

I've read of several books and shows that seemed to foreshadow the event. But I've never heard about this one. It seems like someone was reading the universal mail....
