I don't know where the Q comes from. The flights that hit the WTC are: NY is obviously New York but the symbol for the Y is the Star of David. I don't think a coincidence - someone is reaching. ------------------ |

Yeah I suppose if the flight number is not really correct then this is another internet hoax. ------------------ Self-declared "Hopeless Car Junkie." |

I would strongly suggest that folks go to snopes.com and check all the internet stuff that's out there about the terrorist attack - before posting this kind of crap. Here is some words from the Urban Legends folks: 1. open MS word Apparently "q33ny" - supposed to be the flight number of one of the crashed planes - gives an aeroplane, two buildings, a skull and crossbones and the star of david. Although whether this is in fact the number of one of the planes seems unlikely. Origins: The first set of instructions is a gimmick which has been known for years: Typing the letters NYC using the Webdings font in Microsoft Word (or similar application) produces, as shown below, an image of an eye, a heart, and a city skyline, which some people read as "I love New York" (although the last image could really be any big city skyline). Switching to the WingDings font produces an image of a skull and crossbones, a Star of David, and a thumbs-up symbol, read by some conspiracy-minded folks as a symbolic approval of the killing of Jews. The coincidental arrangment of these symbols (and an accompanying conspiracy theory) was noted as far back as 1992 in a New York Post article: ANTI-JEWISH CODE LURKS IN POPULAR SOFTWARE A computer consultant discovered the diabolic message while installing Microsoft's new Windows 3.1 software for a client yesterday. The consultant was testing a mailing-address use of the program when he noticed the letters "NYC" had been replaced by a hateful message - a skull and crossbones, the Star of David and an approving thumbs-up symbol. Microsoft strongly denies any hidden message. Others disagree. "There's no way it could be a random coincidence," said Brian Young, a friend of the consultant, who does not wish to be named. "It's pretty scary. I was pretty shocked by the whole thing." Computer owners who use Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word or any other Microsoft program containing a print font named "Wingdings" can duplicate the anti-Semitic message by typing the letters "NYC" on their screen. Microsoft said "Wingdings" was designed by Bigelow and Holmes, an outside vendor, and denied that Microsoft intentionally designed the secret message. Prof. Charles Bigelow confirmed that his company provided the symbols, but insisted that Microsoft made the final "mapping" decisions assigning his symbols to specific keys on the keyboard. But a senior Microsoft spokesman said the charge that the fonts contain a hidden message is "outrageous." "It's like saying that if you randomly type out characters on a keyboard to spell 'Satan', you can do that, but it's incredible to say that there's anti-Semitism in Microsoft or one of its vendors," said Charles Hemingway. But Young, who discussed the matter with other computer consultants, isn't so sure it's just a coincidence. The "Wingdings" font contains no letters - just 255 symbols. Young calculated the odds of three letters of the alphabet being combined with 255 symbols, and said he found that the odds of obtaining the message were less than one in a trillion. "It's mind-blowing," said Young. "Somebody's responsible for this. This is very offensive." "I found it hard to believe some of the stories about the resurgence of Nazi sympathizers - but this puts things back into perspective."
The last "coincidence" is strictly a manufactured one. Although typing the characters "Q33NY" using the Wingdings font does produce the string of images shown below (an airplane, two pieces of paper that sort of resemble buildings, a skull and crossbones, and a Star of David), there was no flight "Q33NY" involved in the terrorist attack on New York City (the two flights who planes were crashed into the building were American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175), nor does that string correspond to any airplane's FAA registry number. |
