One of the planes that hit the trade centre towers was flight number : Q33NY
1) Open a new Word document and type in capital letters Q33NY
2) highlight it
3) enlarge the font to 48
4) click on Font Style and select "Wingdings"
You will then will be amazed!!
On the one hand, it is amazing, and downright eerie at first glance. Converting the characters "Q33NY" to the Wingdings font does produce a string of symbols including an airplane taking aim at what passes for a pair of tall buildings, a skull and crossbones representing death, and the star of David representing Israel, a sworn enemy of Al Qaeda.
On the other hand, there's one slight problem, which is that "Q33NY" wasn't the flight number, nor the tail number, nor had anything else to do with either of the two airliners that crashed into the World Trade Center on 9/11. It was a deliberate fabrication, each character carefully selected to produce this "eerie" — but meaningless — result.
