UMMM . . .


When the World Trade Center project was first proposed back in the 1960's, many local groups fought the plan and put out a poster of what was then the largest airline in the air (Boeing 707), crashing into one of the twin towers. It was supposed to be a warning with the idea being if you build it too high, this is what could happen.

I've seen the posters and they are quite chilling, considering what happened. I've been trolling around the interweb to find them and instead, came across this honest-to-goodness PIA (Pakistan International Airlines) ad from the early 1980's.

As chilling as those posters were, my jaw just hit the floor when I found this one. Amazing.
