Very few people talk about this -- and that's what makes it scary -- but the premiere episode of the X-Files spin-off "The Lone Gunmen" involved thwarting a conspiracy to ram an airliner into the World Trade Center and blame it on terrorists -- thus stoking the careers of the intelligence agencies which were being cut because of the end of the cold war. The show ran six months before 9/11 on national TV, and nobody ever said a thing about it in the national media -- like I said, the silence was the scary part.
