    1. Open microsoft word.

    2. Type this exactly Q33 NY

    3. Highlight it and change the font size to 48, and change the font to wingdings.

    4. What you have typed in, is the flight number of a plane on september 11th.

    5. Veiw the out come.


    :eek:

    No, because no flight that crashed that day had that flight number.

    So NY in a different font is a skull and cross bones and a Star of David. Big deal.

    My balls up, your right. What made me think such madness.


    Flight 11 = 11

    Flight 93 9+3 = 12

    Flight 175 1+7+5 = 13

    Flight 77 7+7 = 14

    A bit off numerical madness so, for my mistake.

    Hang on, surely ...

    Flight 11 1+1 = 2

    Flight 93 9+3 = 12

    Flight 175 1+7+5 = 13

    Flight 77 7+7 = 14

    :confused:

    Hi op, its not freaky, its play on numbers and fonts. It probably took someone AGES playing with combinations to find this out. :)

    Headdesk moment.

    This was debunked the second it came out.

    You can force the numbers to be the flight number by the most bizarre convoluted way possible but no, it is not freaky in any way.

    Reverse engineering? Find out which wingdings make the flight number and you can appear to have stumbled upon something that a person might care about.
