The Columbine kids wanted to crash a plane into the WTC. There are people in the government that do nothing all day long except sit around and think of bad things that may happen. They write reports based upon the intelligence they have and they project possible scenarios based upon that intelligence.

Not everybody predicted the possibility of airplanes crashing into famous buildings: One of my government teacher's stories was that, a few years ago, he gave an assignment to his class telling them to devise a scenario of a terrorist attack. One student came up with the idea of crashing planes into buildings, and although it was a very good paper, my government teacher gave the student a B because "it wasn't very realistic".
Soon after September 11th, the student called and had the grade adjusted to an A.
I'm guessing that there is no way that crashing planes into buildings evaded the planning of our national intelligence agencies.
