Trivia: During the subway crash scene, you can hear the Wilhelm scream.

Trivia: The first few disasters listed on the sheet are: Malpassat Dam, France (December 2nd 1959), Coalbrook Mine, South Africa (January 1st 1960), Agadir earthquake, Morocco (February 29th 1960), Valdivia earthquake, Chile (May 22nd 1960), asylum fire, Guatemala City (July 14th 1960) and Nedelin disaster, USSR (October 24th, 1960). Incidentally, Lucinda's listing of dates is inconsistent; sometimes she wrote them the American way (month before day), others day before month.

Mistakes

Character mistake: The newspaper article states that Lucinda was thirty-three at the time of her death in 1988. However, that would make her just four years old when she wrote the time capsule note in 1959 - four years old in the 3rd grade?

Questions

Question: The whisper people bring the selected boy and girl to safety before the final day of earth. Why do they plant a message to be found and decoded just before the final day? I do not think the whisper people need any help from any humans to save humanity (and organize a whisperers' version of Noah's Ark).

Moalian

Answer: There is no intention on the part of the whisper people to warn humanity as a whole, merely a select group of children who appear, due to their telepathic powers, to be the next stage in human evolution, and their respective guardians.
