Flight 93 taxis to runway, monorail behind x		United 93, 2006 (Movie, DVD) This film is an amazing portrayal of the events of 9/11/01, documenting the point of story of air traffic controllers and the passengers heroic efforts on United 93. United 93 was the only flight on 9/11 that did not reach its intended target, because of the actions of passengers. The flight originated from Newark International Airport. One quick clip shows the monorail behind the 757 as it taxied out for its last journey.
x		Cops: Police Pullovers Special Edition No. 2, Episode #1920, 2007 (TV) Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Officer Ryan Cook pulls over a car with a broken tail light. One thing leads to another, as it often does in pullovers, especially on the popular Cops series. The driver's license is suspended, she has no insurance and pleads for mercy because she's "gonna have a boob job in three days." By law Officer Cook must take possession of the car, and the minimally-dressed ladies walk away hand in hand. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the Las Vegas Monorail track is prominently seen in the background. The series producers like this episode so much that they frequently use it in the opening with the well-known 'bad boy, bad boy, whatcha gonna do' music. Officer Cook 'in pursuit'
Grant Cogswell, describing the amazing grassroots effort for a Seattle Monorail System that he helped start The one and only		Edens Lost & Found: Seattle, The Future is Now, 2007 (TV, DVD) Former Washington Mayor Gary Locke narrates this fascinating look at the City of Seattle for the PBS TV series. The segment on the Seattle Monorail Project is the best video documentation of the story to date. While some of the behind-the-scenes dirty politics are not delved into, the benefits of monorail are certainly touted loudly and clearly. In fact, Governor Locke reads off text that is almost word for word from the pages of The Monorail Society website! It's a great story with a very sad ending, but perhaps it's not the end.

Did I miss anything? Of course I did, and that’s where you come in. If you’d like to share a TV episode, movie or DVD that has monorail that you think we missed, send an e-mail to monorailsociety@comcast.net. Keep in mind that we are picky though. For instance, the elevated trains of Metropolis and tube trains of Logan’s Run are not monorails (see our “What is a Monorail?” page). However, if it really is a monorail, we’ll certainly consider adding it to the list!
