1) New York City has 11 letters

2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.

3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin
Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.

4) George W Bush has 11 letters.

This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:

1) New York is the 11th state.

2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number
11.

3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11

4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers.
6+5 = 11

5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11

6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911.
9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:

1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. >2 + 5 + 4 = 11.

2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year.
Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.

3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.

4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers
incident.

***There are like 3 different types of wingdings on my computer, i clicked on the first one in the list. very weird..

Oh my gosh. That is uber freaky.

That was still freaky even though it is all not true. Sometimes I hate snopes. lol. Although I do use it all the time.

weird

It's really not that weird. I mean just look at the Kennedy-Lincoln connection and the 20 year presidential curse, that's more weird than this. Very interesting however, thanks for sharing fact789.

OMG!!!

I was going to say... there were a several errors in the original post. For example, the 911 days between 9/11 and 3/11. Someone forgot about leap day.

Sometimes I hate snopes.

I *love* snopes because it exposes the goofiness that people are willing to believe just because someone emailed it to them. And sometimes that makes me kind of sad.

I like that site, too, for similar reasons to those that HurryKane has.

Thank you!

Had I been here earlier, I would have said the same. Snopes rules!!


Also, Q33 is the number of a Queens (NY) bus route, not a flight number, although the bus does go to LaGuardia airport.

What I meant is some of the things I expose to family and friends would be cool if it were true. I love snopes too! I think my family and friends hate to send me some things because they know If it sound a wee bit fishey, I will probably be sending a snopes link back their way. My dad sent me some Columbia explosion pics. a few days ago, and I just knew, but I didn't even send him the link this time, I hate to tell them too much that they are wrong. lol.

I knew what you meant the first time around My mom knows to expect a snopes smack or two for every five emails she sends me....and after I while I feel bad, too.

WOW.... 3 years before 911 I used to see that number everywhere..I used to look at the clock at 9:11 am and pm but hardly any other time...Bill boards ...Grocerys would come up to $9.11 or the change..My house plate was 9-11...I'm in poor health and used to think that is when i would die on 9/11... It's funny that the day it happened I didn't know it was 9/11 I would usally take great care that day...About 2 hours after it happened my sister called me and asked Did I know what was happening and did I relize the date for I had told all my family and freinds about me seeing 911 for years..I could not believe it ....I thought it would be the end of if it but I see it more know....
