The school in the movie is William Dawes Elementary. William Dawes was one of the riders who, like Paul Revere, warned the minutemen that British troops were coming, just as a child at his namesake school was trying to warn people what was coming.
The perceptual phenomenon of people looking for patterns in randomness (number strings, faces in trees, shapes in clouds etc.) is called Apophenia.

A somewhat similar derailment on the New York City Subway's #4 line depicted in the movie happened in real life. On August 28, 1991, a #4 Express train derailed at a rail switch and crashed before the 14th Street-Union Square stop. The severity of the crash caused five out of the ten cars to be destroyed, and one car was split in two. Five people died and 161 were injured. The crash was caused by the motorman, who was intoxicated at the controls and had been speeding when the train passed over a switch. The motorman was sentenced to 5 to 15 years in prison for manslaughter and assault. He was released in April 2002.
"Stacey: Well, what do you believe? John Koestler: I think shit just happens. But that's me."
"John Koestler: I found evidence of a series of super-flares from a star in the outer-Pleiades's region. Phil Bergman: Right. Ratings were off the chart. John Koestler: We were both wrong. The numbers are a warning, but not just to me or any random group. They're a warning to everyone. Phil Bergman: Okay. You're officially scaring the shit out of me right now. John Koestler: The super-flare, in our own solar system. A 100 microtesla wave of radiation that would destroy our ozone layer, killing every living organism on the planet. Phil Bergman: We have to let everyone know. We have to call the NOAA. John Koestler: They already know. The announcement will come anytime now. I thought there was some purpose to all this. Why did I get this prediction if there's nothing I can do about it? How am I supposed to stop the end of the world?"
