Voice of the Prophet
United States | 8:03 | Robert Edwards
A truly chilling example of foreshadowing, The Voice of the Prophet is an interview with Rick Rescorla, the head of security for the investment firm Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. Filmed on the 44th floor of the World Trade Center in 1998, Rescorla details the future of warfare long before Osama bin Laden became America's Most Wanted.
A retired Army colonel, veteran of combat in three wars and a survivor of the 1993 bombing of the twin towers
(in which he saved the lives of hundreds of Morgan Stanley employees), Rescorla was killed in the WTC attacks of September 11, 2001. In this interview, Rescorla all but predicts the events that lead up to the September 11 attack and the war on terrorism that followed.

Background
The interview was conducted by filmmaker Robert Edwards, whose
father fought alongside Rescorla in Vietnam's battle of Ia Drang. The
interview grew out of a proposed documentary about the nature of
warfare that was never completed; it sat unseen until after the September 11 attack.

Fact
At the time of the interview, Rescorla had been diagnosed with prostate
cancer. Given Rick's larger than life personality, it is not surprising that
he managed to beat the cancer into remission. He was due to retire
just three months after September 11, 2001 and planned to devote himself to writing.
