Titanic:
In 1898, morgan robertson wrote 'futility or the wreck of the titan', describing a doomed ship eerily similar to the titanic.
the story ,the titan is the largest ship on the sea ,at 244m long and is described as '' unsinkable'',
the fictional ship hits an iceberg ,in april in the north atlantic ,and the boat sank ,killing most of the people abroad,
all details that would match the disastrous real life sinking of the titanic just 14 years later in 1912.

in 1924 report american general billy mitchell predicted the times and locations of japan's 1941 sneak attack on us forces,
writing ''bombardment , attack to be made on ford island at 7:30AM .. attack to be made on clarck field at 10:40 AM.''
he was so certain the air strikes will occure, that he was court martialed in 1925 for railing against military leaders, accusing them of ''almost treasonable administration of the national defense'' for failing to invest in aircraft carriers.
his warning was dismissed ,leaving harbor vulnerable to japan's airstrike..
