There was a special viewing for family members of the victims of Flight 93 tonight....wanted to share this with the good folks from this site.
Well hopefully this will put to rest the garbage that all of the conspiracy theorists try to spew. I just saw the documentary and will try to be coherent and put some thoughts down. I'm pretty emotional now so please pardon any lack of logical order....its not a priortity.
But so many of you from this site have been so kind in your words for my father and my family that I just wanted to share this with you.....well here it is.
While my family did not directly take part in the interviews I think they did a great job telling the story from about 7-8 families' views due to phone calls...there were more calls than the 4 that you've probably heard of already - Beamer, Bingham, Burnett and Glick. My blood boils every time I hear the voices of the hijackers...and you'll get to hear them now. While the Zaccariaus Maoussoui case is still ongoing they cant let everything be heard but they do reveal some things.
When I heard the cockpit voice recorder tapes a few years ago in Princeton I very vividly remember hearing a woman flight attendant pleading for her life and it ending rather abruptly...it was truly horrifying and I could not sleep a wink that night thinking of that poor woman. They now believe it was Deborah Welsh...oh man, hearing it live was terrible. They don't play the tapes like we heard them but you get the idea and they narrate it a bit...awful.
Mickey Rothenberg was also believed to be the one who's throat was slit in first class to establish control and send the message to other passengers that their lives would be in danger if they fought back....this too was tough to see...just imagine what his family is feeling tonight.
Capt. Jason Dahl and Co-pilot Leroy Homer were also most likely killed by having their throats slit.....and people in this country want us to negotiate with these animals....wake up morons.
Bottom line...I highly recommend seeing this at 9pm on 9/11 on the Discovery Channel. It should be required viewing for every school age child from 6th grade up so they understand the dangerous world in which we live and WHY WE FIGHT.
I commend the Discovery Channel on a job well done and hope this helps echo the message....NEVER FORGET.
My father died in the first few minutes of this war. He loved this country and his body was slammed into the ground at 580 mph, shredded into pieces and incinerated in ignited jet fuel. Simply because he wanted to go for a hike in Yosemite park with his friends. Barbaric.
This Saturday there will be a walk in his honor - the 4th year this has been done. Last year we had over 600 people come out. All proceeds will be going to the memorial to be built in Shanksville, PA and the memorial in Atlantic Highlands for all of those killed who lived in Monmouth County, NJ. If anyone can make it it is at 10am at Battleground Park in Manalapan, NJ.

Would love to see some of you there - but I know I'm late in the game in putting this up. If you could find a few dollars to donate that would be appreciated as well. Not asking for much - but anything would help.
God Bless You All!!!

Never Forget Never Forgive
Bless you, Chris. That's all I can think to say, just bless your heart.
We will never forget, I promise you.
RIP Patrick Joseph Driscoll Thank you, Chris, for sharing your father. Thanks for the report on the program.
I have emailed Ms. Hanley of the NPS and will call my FL Senators & Congresswoman.
To have the Flight 93 Memorial in the shape of an Islamic CRESCENT is an outrage & insult to those heroes of 9-11.

Bump.
May God bless your family!
Thank you Smartass.
Adding this to my list of links.
Thank You, SA.
I have emailed suggesting the trees be planted in the shape of an Eagle's WINGS.
Thanks for the heads up Chris.
Your Father and his fellow warriors were the first Americans to stand up and fight on 9/11. God Bless them and their family members.

Down with Islamofascists!
The passengers of Flight 93 were both heroes and unique pioneers. They first experienced the start terror of being about to die. And the superhuman courage to deny the animals their satisfaction. It is a group unique in history, and they will always be remembered.
Prayers for you and your family, and gratitude to your dad for an act far beyond human gratitude.
Is there a site where all the names on Flight 93 can be reviewed and remembered?
Thanks for this ping, my friend.
FYI and ping lists.
Never.
Bless you and your whole family.
Thanks for the ping!

Chris, your family is in my prayers. I have set Tivo to record this program. God bless you ~ your father is a hero.
