23 is one of "the numbers" on ABC's television show Lost. The series is 4 8 15 16 23 42. The number 23 specifically is referenced in various intentional "coincidences" throughout the series, such as the number of the terminal Flight 815 leaves from. In perhaps the most obviously referential scene, Hurley is repeating the entire sequence aloud, and Kate picks out the number 23, asking what it means to him. When Hurley hesitates to tell her about the synchronicities he has experienced in connection with the numbers, Kate tells him that coincidentally the number 23,000 relates to a significant event in her backstory.

I lived for 12 years at the 23 of my street. I saw Jesus when I was 23. I now live in a house which is the Weathers' house and it has a "W" on its door and W is the 23rd letter.
Since you mention 9/11, I happen to be the co author of a book called BIBLE AND NUMBERS, which talks about 9/11, and THE NUMBER 23!!! and my life is just like the guy on the movie "23" ;-)
The release day of BIBLE AND NUMBERS is further encoded with 9/11 as well as my 2008' radio interview. If you like codes, read BIBLE AND NUMBERS!
