Has anyone come across this theory about the terrorist attacks? It seems to be doing the internet rounds at the moment. I’d like to put it to bed with the Nostradamus theories but I don’t know how. The date of the attack: 9/11 - 9 + 1 + 1 = 11 September 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2 + 5 + 4 = 11 After September 11th there are 111 days left to the end of the year. 119 is the area code to Iraq/Iran. 1 + 1 + 9 = 11 Twin Towers - standing side by side, looks like the number 11 The first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11 I Have More… State of New York - The 11 State added to the Union New York City - 11 Letters Afghanistan - 11 Letters The Pentagon - 11 Letters Ramzi Yousef - 11 Letters (convicted for orchestrating the attack on the WTC in 1993) Flight 11 - 92 on board - 9 + 2 = 11 Flight 77 - 65 on board - 6 + 5 = 11 :wally ---

I went there before I posted that and did a search on “eleven”. No wonder it didn’t show…not once is “eleven” mentioned. ---
