WTC Prophecy?

From the Glanz and Lipton series of articles for the New York Times, titled “Height of Ambition” Back in the 60’s before the towers were built, there were some who opposed their construction.

Part 4

Back in the 60’s before the towers were built, there were some who opposed their construction.

Lawrence Wien, who was continuing his fight against the towers, . . . ran a nearly full-page ad in The Times with an artist's rendition of a commercial airliner about to ram one of the towers. ''Unfortunately, we rarely recognize how serious these problems are until it's too late to do anything,'' the caption said.

Obviously the concern that the building could be hit by a plane was legitimate and not all that prescient, but I find the quasi-Islamic message to be rather eerie.

very interesting and good find
I still support the idea of rebuilding the twin towers even though there is always that possibility that it might happen again and will once again be a target, just like hundreds of other landmarks that be used in the same way.
