Did Nostradamus Predict the 9/11 Attacks?

Did Nostradamus Predict the 9/11 Attacks?, a Snopes.com fact check from 2001, traces the widely circulated 9/11 quatrain, falsely attributed to Nostradamus, to a 1997 illustrative essay written by a Brock University student specifically to demonstrate how vague prophetic sounding language can be fitted to any event after the fact. Snopes maintains an editorial fact checking process with named source citation, and this piece's authority rests on tracing the actual textual origin of the fabricated quatrain, a genuine service distinguishing an internet legend from Nostradamus's own writing. Cite it for the quatrain's documented modern origin; Nostradamus's own actual quatrains need his primary text.
