David Booth Had a Premonition of an Airplane Disaster in 1979; Did Lindsay Wagner Possess Some Real Bionic Power Herself?

The idea that psychic powers can actually be harnessed to peer into the future should have been debunked long ago when all the karmic powers that surrounded both the O.J. Simpson murder trial and the attacks of 9/11 came and went without any famous psychic ever even coming close to having predicted them. As far as unharnessed psychic powers go: I'm a believer, after getting a truly wicked sensation looking at a truck that a few minutes later ran over my car and sent me across all four lanes and into the concrete barrier that separates the two directions of traffic on the beltloop that surrounds Atlanta, GA.

That's nothing compared to what David Booth saw, however. David Booth was a Fightin' Buckeye who in 1979 actually went on record as foreseeing airline disasters well before they occurred. (And maybe one day I'll find just what the hell a buckeye is!) In late May of 1979 David Booth feverishly called the FAA and spoke with a representative of American Airlines. He told them in no vague terms that he had had a vision of an airplane going down in flames among tall buildings. Obviously, there was nothing that could be done even though the authorities were eventually convinced of Booth's seriousness and that he wasn't just trying to pull a joke or be a pain in the butt.

On May 26, 1979 Lindsay Wagner-famous at the time as the Bionic Woman-arrived at Chicago's famous O'Hare Airport. She was to board an American Airlines jet, but canceled at the last minute due to a sudden sick feeling that left her nauseous without any explanation. David Booth was perhaps not the only person who had the ability to foresee trouble aboard that American Airlines DC-10. Shortly after takeoff an engine fell off the plane, causing it to crash into buildings. Everyone aboard died.
