Al-Qaeda's plans and Hollywood's predictions on 9/11
The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, resulted in the death of 2,977 people. The "Al-Qaeda" organization had been considering the idea of turning commercial airplanes into weapons since the 1990s. The group began developing a plan to use aircraft after the 1998 bombings of the US embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, envisioning airplanes as a means to strike targets within the United States. The organization's thinker, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, presented a concept in 1996 for carrying out attacks using hijacked planes, and the idea evolved into a complex plan that involved training pilots and recruiting cells in Europe and America. Although US intelligence anticipated the possibility of using airplanes as a method of attack, they lacked precise information about the timing or targets of the attacks. The events of the plan were associated with ideas that appeared in cinema in 1996, such as the film "Executive Decision," which dealt with a similar plot, but there was no evidence that the film inspired the attacks. The operation spanned years of planning and execution, ultimately changing the balance of security and politics worldwide.
