Last seconds of United Flight 93 - The hijackers gave up

Not a surprise. The SOP of terrorists is when they're in trouble, blow everyone to pieces. They are homicide bombers, after all, and killing the people on UA 93 was just as good to them as if they had hit a Washington building because they slaughtered a few infidels, as they always wish in their terror attacks.

Note how Palestinian homicide bombers goal is to destroy as many infidels. Here, the Al Qaeda terrorists whacked a few infidels.

"It's getting bad, Dad," he said in his second call. "I think we are going down. I think they intend to go to Chicago or someplace and fly into a building. Don't worry, Dad. If it happens, it'll be very fast."

Even in such a serious situation the son was concerned with his Father's anxiety and tried to calm him. Man, what a body blow [for the Father] it must've been to have this conversation. At least he was able to speak to him one last time before he died...a hero.

What's sad is with the recent reports of suspicious terrorist activity on planes, no one has stepped up and taken action against those suspicious characters. We have not learned a thing from Todd Beamer and the brave souls on Flight 93.

I think it has been a couple of years since a report of passengers tackling someone who violated air flight rules (and refused to sit down).

As to the incidents you speak of, the most extreme of the recent ones I heard about (on Michael Savage's show) was a man who removed the mirror from the wall in the restroom and tried to burrow through into the cockpit.

"Spidey senses" are tingling and we should be prepared for a "Go!" attack BEFORE November (to strike up the same fears as the Spanish bombs on the trains in Madrid had on those elections).

If your prevent an attack on the United States and the culprit takes you to court, seek a jury trial. Who would convict?

Can you locate the transcript of what Barbara Olsen said to Ted in her phone call from the plane she was on? Thanks advance.

[monkeyman81]

Yes. That was absolutely stupid. 1) The men on the plane DID fight back; 2) the copilot, a black man named LeRoy Homer, was one of those who did.
Michael Moore, as usual, displays a complete ignorance of any subject he is talking about.

[miss marmelstein]

Yes, you are right. NYC will go to Kerry. But let me tell you a dirty little secret: all my liberal friends are quietly, stealthily, driving (not flying) out of the city during the Republican Convention. They are SO SCARED.

OMG!
That figures.
