A low flying jet skims the roof of an apartment building and makes a bee-line towards World Trade Center's Twin Towers. It's early morning, the light is clean and sharp. The saturated deep blue sky becomes a foreboding black to imply that something bad is going to happen. On second glance, you see that this is a 1975 skyline. The plane is a toy and the picture is a prediction.
