They also unintentionally predicted 9/11.

The Liberty Island skybox is notably missing the towers... they just took the skybox texture, halved it and mirrored it, to save space.

I think there's a single text blurb in a terminal somewhere in the game that mentions the towers were destroyed by terrorists in the early 21st century... but even that is not really that much of s broad stretch, the towers had been carbombed in 93, and the whole game of course very heavily focuses on terrorism and anti terrorism as a real world and game world framing device.
