Are you sure? Frank Miller, in The Dark Knight Returns, wrote about a
plane hitting an office building and it caused a fire and panic and
EVERYTHING! And Gotham city is really New York in all but name so that's a
prediction, right? Right?!?!

Ahem.

If I know Strago, he wasn't being serious. Frankly, I don't blame him
for being sarcastic. I find the idea that these tens of thousands of
deaths were "pre-ordained in the stars" or whatever cracker-jack method of
divination Nostradamus used, to be foolish at best, and downright insulting
at worst. I think it'd be best to keep the "it was destined to be" talk
out of this tragedy.
