Closest some of us will get to heaven

A 9/11 flashback? No, a premonition.

This creepily prescient poster advertising the World Trade Center Twin Towers in the mid-1980s nearly knocked me out of my chair. I was reminded of my visit to the top of the trade center a couple of months before it was destroyed, then the unbelievably horrible collapse as the world watched.

Wouldn't this be the view angle as the victims' souls departed the conflagration?

Equally strange is this 1979 ad for Pakistan International Airlines, and this 1981 ad for an asbestos company that reassures, "Asbestos contains fire, cannot burn and holds up after metal and glass have melted down, giving vital time for people to escape." How sad.
