Lone Gunmen Pilot, 9/11 World Trade Center Sync
The pilot episode of the X-Files spin-off "The Lone Gunmen," which aired six months before September 11, 2001, featured a plot involving a government cabal hijacking a plane via remote control to crash it into the World Trade Center. The dialogue in the episode explicitly mentions increasing arms sales as the motive. This is cited as one of the most potent examples of foreshadowing in television history.
