I never read the transcript before.

What tear jerker.

What a brave man along with the others who did not take this lying down.

I cannot fathom knowing you have about 20 minutes left to live and you’re going to die in a fiery plane crash.

Those people were real heroes.

I guess the vid I saw I couldn’t make out. I’m not doubting it at all. With my old eyes...just trying to get a clearer vision.

Wow, in 2001, he had one hell of a good cell phone.

It was an Airphone. They were installed equipment on airliners back then. Quite common.

We need to be preparing to Roll. The world will not wait for more people to wake up. It may take a few to get started and get this plane on the ground.

Thank you Todd and all the others who gave it all.
