Before and after the Normandy landings...
The time before the Normandy_landings has some very bizarre synchronicity with the # 911.
"Normaundie; from Old French Normanz, plural of Normant, originally from the word for 'northman' in several Scandinavian languages)[4] is the northwesternmost of the eighteen regions of France, roughly coextensive with the historical Duchy of Normandy." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandy_(administrative_region)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandy#Viking_raids_and_foundation_of_the_Norman_state
"The Duchy of Normandy grew out of the 911 Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte between King Charles III of West Francia and the Viking leader Rollo." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Normandy
The D-Day site was chosen, but many people were unaware of the history of Normandy. Inevitably, it became a place of so much violence, death and destruction.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Chartres_(911)
"In 911, a group of Vikings led by Rollo besieged Paris and Chartres. After a victory near Chartres on 26 August, Charles decided to negotiate with Rollo, resulting in the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte which created the Duchy of Normandy." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_the_Simple#King_of_West_Francia
"The treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte (911) is the foundational document of the Duchy of Normandy, establishing Rollo, a Norse warlord and Viking leader, as the first Duke of Normandy in exchange for his loyalty to Charles III, the king of West Francia, following the Siege of Chartres."
"Rollo in June 911 unsuccessfully laid siege to Chartres. He was defeated in battle on 20 July 911.[1] In the aftermath of this conflict, Charles the Simple decided to negotiate a treaty with Rollo.
The talks, possibly led by Heriveus, the archbishop of Reims, resulted in the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte in 911." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Saint-Clair-sur-Epte
"In a state of despair, possibly afflicted by severe depression, Louis died at Frankfurt am Main on 20 or 24 September 911, seventeen or eighteen years old." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_the_Child
"On 11 September 1297, the forces of Andrew Moray and William Wallace defeated the combined English forces of John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey, and Hugh de Cressingham near Stirling, on the River Forth." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stirling_Bridge A battelground in 1297 on the 11th of September. https://www.britannica.com/event/Battle-of-Stirling-Bridge
The # 911 obviously intersects in some key moments, places and times with such violence, death and destruction.
Of course The_Pentagon has a strong association with the # 911.
"The building was designed by American architect George Bergstrom and built by contractor John McShain. Ground was broken on 11 September 1941..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pentagon 1941 and 2001. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pentagon#September_11_attacks

"Written before the September 11 attacks and during political debates of the Iraq War, a section of Rebuilding America's Defenses titled "Creating Tomorrow's Dominant Force" became the subject of considerable controversy: "Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Century#Rebuilding_America's_Defenses_2 , https://web.archive.org/web/20130817122719/http://www.newamericancentury.org/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf

WarGames, the 1983 American Cold War science fiction techno-thriller
2023 will be the 40th anniversary since the release of the WarGames movie. Now the world might be on the verge of a global scale conflagration, if things aren't peacefully resolved.

So a few months after the wide release of the WarGames movie, a potentially serious situation arose.
"On 26 September 1983, during the Cold War, the nuclear early-warning radar of the Soviet Union reported the launch of one intercontinental ballistic missile with four more missiles behind it, from bases in the United States. These missile attack warnings were suspected to be false alarms by Stanislav Petrov, an officer of the Soviet Air Defence Forces on duty at the command center of the early-warning system. He decided to wait for corroborating evidence—of which none arrived—rather than immediately relaying the warning up the chain-of-command. This decision is seen as having prevented a retaliatory nuclear attack against the United States and its NATO allies, which would likely have resulted in an escalation to a full-scale nuclear war. Investigation of the satellite warning system later determined that the system had indeed malfunctioned." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Soviet_nuclear_false_alarm_incident

The Donnie Darko intersection
"The film premiered on January 19, 2001 at the Sundance Film Festival, followed by a limited theatrical release on October 26. Due to the film's advertising featuring a crashing plane and the September 11 attacks having transpired a month and a half before, it was scarcely advertised, which affected its box office performance; it grossed just $517,375 in its initial run.[3] Despite this, Donnie Darko received positive reviews and was listed No. 2 in Empire's "50 Greatest Independent Films of All Time",[5] and No. 53 in Empire's "500 Greatest Movies of All Time".[6] After reissues, it went on to gross $7.5 million worldwide. In March 2002, the film was released on home video, earning $500,000 in sales and gained a cult following." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnie_Darko
Donnie_Darko is one of those movies that can cause a person to ponder and reflect upon for years or even decades after its initial release in 2001.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnie_Darko#Filming Although the movie isn't perfect, its pretty darn close for the type of story that it is. No wonder that DD just kept getting to be more and more popular over the years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnie_Darko:_The_Director's_Cut (2004)
