We react in real time to learning that The Lone Gunmen’s 2001 pilot centers on a plot to steer a plane into the World Trade Center to jumpstart a war. Shock turns into a live research session as we weigh coincidence, influence, and how fiction can mirror risk.

• context on X-Files and the Lone Gunmen spinoff
• summary of the pilot’s WTC plot and timing
• quick dive into ratings, writers, and sources
• questions about coincidence versus foreknowledge
• personal memories from the morning of 9/11
• comparisons to Pearl Harbor and public mobilization
• doubts about building collapses and narratives
• open ask for listener perspectives and leads

Let me know what you think. Did you know about this? What are your thoughts?
