Michael Caine has a thing for novels about terrorists and some years ago decided to write one that prominently featured a tragedy much like the Sept. 11 attacks in New York City. Caine revealed on BBC Radio 4 this week to having premonitions about 9/11 while writing the book, but stopped after the attacks occurred.

"I had this plot where terrorists fly a plane into a London skyscraper," he told Mark Lawson on the radio. "They did it in real life. I was stunned by that, so I stopped writing."
