Personally, I think that most of the so-called "psychics" out there are charlatans, but I also think that there are a few out there who have somehow convinced themselves that they have some special gift. In fact, I once read about a woman who had once been a follower of the New Age movement and she had believed that she had psychic ability. What she didn't realize was that she did "warm readings". That is, she would get information about people and then make guesses about them based on that information and on her own observations. Since her guesses were often correct, she managed to convince herself that is was all due to psychic ability. In reality, though, she did what many of us do every day. That is, she made observations and guesses based on those observations. This is also commonly known as intuition, which is perfectly natural and not at all supernatural.

I'd like to know why the so-called psychics didn't say ANYTHING on Sept 10, 2001? There wasn't a single word from them, why not?

Yes, what you say can happen. But just because an explanation can be had doesn't make it the only possible explanation.
The only psychic ability you are mentioning here is that of reading a person. I have a few, but I'll just talk about the one of precognition. Actually, it's as if I suddenly would have a memory in my mind of an event which hadn't yet occurred which I was now aware of, and when the event did happen then it happened just like my "memory" of it. As I had near total recall I would be able to call up the "memory" and compare it to the actual memory when the event occurred. So I know your explanation didn't apply to what was happening to me in this manner.
On a world level, I knew about such events as Watergate and the Olympic massacres before they occurred. On a personal level I knew about several people's deaths before they happened including my own sister's, none of them having previous signs of them going to happen.
These are just some of the more profound "premonitions". I've had plenty more throughout my life. I never really wanted them and having them and other "psychic" abilities caused me to try to find answers. So I took to studying physics and quantum physics on my own in search of answers of what was going on with me, and with hopes of finding a way to rid myself of these "gifts". There are explanations to be found there if you actually bother to search thoroughly.

I would not always positioned so much inventory in what the priest mentioned. He has no approach of understanding this with truly simple task. While I do think individuals have the present he pointed out, he does not realize that you simply will have to be ready to lose any person near.

What makes you so sure people aren't psychic? Same thing.
