How come those apocalyptic Hollywood movies come to life?!?!
 

Tom Clancy and the terrorist threat books -> September 11 and the events that followed..

And now..

Stephen King's The Stand where 99% of the planet population is decimated from a killer virus.

Now a deadly unknown virus causing severe pneumonia is spreading at an alarming rate everwhere on the planet..

Geez.. Reality is getting more and more like a bad hollywood end of the world movie script
:1orglaugh

You DO know that there are many books out there that concentrate on a "terroristic/SWAT" theme, right?

So, it's not necessarily a matter of coincidence.
