Have you ever read Debt of Honor by Tom Clancy? Well, I bet someone who helped to plan the 9/11 attack did. The book ends with a commercial airplane being flown / crashed into a senate meeting killing the president and a number of senators. This book seemed like an unrealistic problem until it actually happened. No one took it seriously until a real airplane was used as a weapon.
So I do not agree that some obscure website called "10 easy ways to Hijack an airliner and slam it into a building" would have saved anyone any grief.
Many search engines today use very little of the actual text on a webpage for indexing. The "good" ones use the title and the anchor text of the pages that link to a given page as the main scoring features for page relevancy. Only when there are very few hits will a search engine resort to using the actual content text on the page and it is even less likely to use the meta data.
There were a couple of interesting papers at the ACM's SIGIR this year that use only the anchot text that points to a webpage to get a description of the pointed to page and they could do some cool things like language translations with just that data.

This reminds of a math professor who will not fly because he has passed engineers that only scored 70% on one of his tests.
There is no shadow from the boy in the first picture when everything else has a shadow. That is a pretty obvious goof by the photo editor.

Haven't you seen Armageddon? We just need to find Bruce Willis.
