Sorry, that already happened in Dec 2012 ... we are on a spur of the multiverse where that didn't happen.

Not a problem for a Buddhist, you can be reincarnated into many worlds, many heavens, many hells

LOL movies don't count. We haven't faced an ELE in human period yet. But mother earth has gone though a several, she know the drill. :P

Wish for sımething else then. An asteroid will not fall into hishead only.

That is so low as a possibility, I am afraid it negligible.

Of course it is negligible.  Astronomically, so to speak.  But in 2000 what were the chances of Donald Trump being elected President in 2016?

After the 1993 truck bomb attack on the towers, the chief of security at the towers actually was planning on a plane attack as a possibility ... he died saving lives on 9/11.  Americans are naive, so they were so shockable ... the PNAC counted on it.

Maybe he was implying the usual 9/11 conspiracy theory?  Security managers plan for all imaginable contingencies .... and don't share with the public.

Which didn't exist before 9/11. We are talking about the shock felt after the event. Not conspiracies created after it.
