Foreboding Ads featuring the World Trade Center

Taken from BoingBoing, here are three old print advertisements that featured the World Trade Center, pre-911.

When I saw this, even though I knew the copies were not intended to be prophecies, and have more to do with coincidence and a twist of fate, it still sent chills down my spine.

I wanted to laugh at the ads, yet find a myself feeling strangely guilty about it.

What do you guys think?
