Eerie American Airlines Commercial, Circa 1998

[Matt Molnar]

Take note around the 0:55 mark.

Oddly enough I remember that commercial...

Some crazy "foreshadowing" if you will in it though...

that is eerie, though I was loving all the dc-10's / MD 11's

I guess I don't see it so badly.


Years ago, I think it was Flexon eyewear had these cardboard posters to put up in doctors offices. Flexon frames are highly bendable.

( I was not a doc at the time)

One of their ads was a plane headed for a pair of buildings and the buildings literally bent out of the way. It was a large hard piece of cardboard with 2 buildings popping off it and a plane popping off too, so it was 3-d ish.

once Sept 11 occurred, it disapperared from every office. I have yet to see a pic of one online.

That's not such a bad clip. The one I remember most is this one for PIA from 1979, promoting service between NY and Paris, in a French newspaper. It shows the shadow of a 747 against the Twin Towers:

There are a few other "interesting" ads displayed on that page as well.
