Kennt Ihr eigentlich die o.g. Serie?
Da hatte damals Hollywood im Prinzip das Drehbuch zum 11.09. schon vorbereitet, nur dass es in der Realität anders ausgegangen ist.Die Serie lief im Frühjahr 2001 in den USA an wurde dann aber schon sehr schnell wieder eingestellt.
"Im Pilotfilm des "Akte X"-Ablegers "Lone Gunmen" spielt ein Plan namens"Scenario-12-d" die Schlüsselrolle, der darin besteht, ein Flugzeug in das WTC rasen zu lassen, um internationale Verstimmungen auszulösen und so die Nachfrage nach Waffen anzukurbeln. "Scenario-12-d" ist in der Hollywood-Fantasie allerdings ein Geheimplan der US-Regierung."
Interessant ist folgender Dialogauszug:
[Byers enters his father's living room and notices a pile of 'Lone Gunmen' newspapers on a bookshelf]
BERTRAM BYERS: "John..."
BYERS: "Dad..."
BERTRAM BYERS: "What the hell are you doing? Why can't you stay out of this? Leave me buried?"
BYERS: "What is Scenario 12D? We know, it's a war game scenario, that it has to do with airline counter-terrorism. Why is it important enough to kill for?"
BERTRAM BYERS: "Because it's no longer a game."
BYERS: "But if, some terrorist group wants to, act out this scenario, why target you for assassination?"
BERTRAM BYERS: "Depends on who your terrorists are."
BYERS: "The men who conceived of it in the first place. You're saying our government plans to commit a terrorist act against a domestic air..."
BERTRAM BYERS: "There you go, indicting the entire government as usual. It's a faction, a small faction..."
BYERS: "For what possible gain?"
BERTRAM BYERS: "The Cold War's over, John. But with no clear enemy to stockpile against, the arms market's flat. But bring down a fully-loaded 727 into the middle of New York City; you'll find a dozen tin-pot dictators all over the world, just clamouring to take responsibility. And begging to be smart bombed."
BYERS: "I can't believe it; this is about increasing arms sales?"
BERTRAM BYERS: "Mm-hmm."
BYERS: "When?"
BERTRAM BYERS: "Tonight."
BYERS: "How are you going to stop them? Why didn't you tell the world this? Go to the press?"
BERTRAM BYERS: "You think I'd still be drawing breath 30 minutes after I made that call? The press? Who's going to run this story?"
BYERS: "We would."
BERTRAM BYERS: "This?" [He picks up one of the newspapers] "This is birdcage liner. Wild-eyed crap right up there with, Elvis is an alien and two-headed babies."
BYERS: "You obviously read it."
BERTRAM BYERS: "Don't be so damn naive. You think this is going to save the world? I'm doing what I can, John. I don't have all the specifics on Scenario 12D. But I think I know the flight they've chosen. You stay out of it. I don't want Overlord gunning for you too."---------------------------------------------------------------------
BYERS: "I need to know our flight plan."
FROHIKE: [on phone] "I'm mapping the data now."
LANGLY: [on phone] "Byers... Your flight's going to make an unscheduled stop. In exactly 22 minutes."
FROHIKE: [on phone] "The corner of Liberty and Washington. Lower Manhattan."
BYERS: "World Trade Centre." [to Bertram Byers] They're going to crash the plane into the World Trade Centre."
BERTAM BYERS: "I'll tell the flight crew."
BYERS: "Langly... can you override the flight control system?"
LANGLY: [on phone] "Working on it..."----------------------------------------------------------------------
PILOT: "What is this?"
BERTRAM BYERS: "My name is Bert Byers; I work for the government. I believe this plane has been commandeered."
PILOT: "Sir; passengers are not allowed in the cockpit, I need you to return to your seat now."
BERTRAM BYERS: "You don't have control of this plane and I don't know if we can get it back. Turn off your auto-pilot; there may be a chance that we can override it."
PILOT: "Sir, I'll be happy to contact your superiors in the government if you..." [Bertram Byers lunges forward and flips off the auto-pilot switch] "Sir... damn it!"
CO-PILOT: "He's right..."http://www.redwolf.com.au/lgm/pilot/1aeb79.html
