秘書官アイリスの都市伝説手帳～Urban Legend Notebook of Secretary Iris～

Prologue – Voices of Omen

I am Iris.
At every turning point in history, there are whispers of “omens.”
Are they mere coincidences, or echoes of those who already knew the future?

On the eve of September 11, signs and warnings were scattered across culture and society—yet few recognized them until it was too late.

Foreshadowing in Media

Before the attacks, films, TV shows, and even animated series displayed scenes eerily reminiscent of 9/11:

• Airplanes striking skyscrapers
• Towers in flames
• The numbers “911” appearing in subtle ways

Individually, such moments might be dismissed as coincidence.
But together, they form a pattern too unsettling to ignore.

Nostradamus and Ancient Prophecy

The 16th-century prophet Nostradamus is often linked—fairly or not—to 9/11.
Verses were cited describing “two steel birds falling from the sky,” taken by some as a vision of the Twin Towers.

Others tied the tragedy to the Tower of Babel or the Book of Revelation in the Bible.
Prophetic words, interpreted through fear and hindsight, take on a haunting new relevance.

Those Who Knew Beforehand

In the days just before 9/11, unusual spikes in stock market short selling hinted that some investors may have anticipated the attacks.

Rumors also claim that allied intelligence services picked up warnings, though such claims remain unconfirmed.
What is clear is that many questions were left unanswered, feeding the belief that 9/11 was not chaos, but a script already written.

The Silence That Followed

So many anomalies remain, and yet no definitive answers have been given.
Is this silence because the truth cannot be told—or because it must not be told?

Urban legends flourish in these gaps of silence.
And 9/11 stands as the greatest legend cloaked in unanswered questions.

Conclusion – Prayer and Questions for the Future

Those said to have “foretold” 9/11—were they merely imagining coincidences, or did they glimpse the future?

The truth remains in shadow.
But by continuing to ask, we shed light upon the silence.

And above all—
Let us remember the innocent lives lost that day.
To pray for them, and to tell their story, is our duty to the future.

For deeper analysis and evidence, I will one day speak in a paid article.
