THE FLIGHT THAT FOUGHT BACK
Discovery Channel ^ | 11 September 2005 | The DIscovery Channel

Posted on 09/11/2005 5:19:05 AM PDT by Vigilanteman

The Flight That Fought Back incorporates the best possible research available, including actual voice recordings from passengers and crew members; information from the official 9/11 Commission Report; eyewitness accounts; and interviews with family members, some of whom describe what they heard in actual conversations with people on board the flight.

Airing tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern time on the Discovery Channel (182 in our area), the above is an excerpt from an interview with the producer.

I understand it has been tastefully done and based on interviews with friends and families of the heros aboard that flight.

At least it's not on NBC. It if was, the hijackers would be 'humanized' more than the passengers.

Which reminds me: The title of an article about the movie in the local paper was that it "mixes fact and fiction", which i thought was very dismissive, and seemed to be an attempt to blunt the impact it might have on a viewer.

it "mixes fact and fiction" ????

What does the MSM news do? I'll wager this film is far more accurate than the evening news because the producer actually did some research before making it.

Thanks! I didn't realize we had a Freeper whose father was aboard Flight 93. God bless his memory and his eternal soul.

Absolutely insulting! What will you do about it???
 
Final Design Announced
The design for the permanent Memorial for Flight 93 was announced on September 7, 2005 amid overwhelming support . .

So the mark of the Jihadists will forever emblazon our landscape. Is it time to cry for America yet...???????????? This design seems to be a fitting memorial for the Muslims who died aboard Flt 93. The hijackers whose ashes are fused into the shale with those of their victims, of all the shapes, in all of geometry, they pick the symbol of Muslim power, THE CRESCENT!!!

Why not a monument of the passengers beating the crap out of the hijackers?
 
"When it comes to a memorial, all mankind sympathizes," he said." The idea of the Crescent of Embrace, Murdoch said, is to be a gesture of healing and bonding.
 
Muslims didn't/don't sympathize - THEY consider this to have been a great victory!

This is like making a holocaust memorial in the shape of a swastika. Absolutely disgusting. I think is a slap in the face of every solider that is fighting terrorism now. And a shameful way to honor those that have died in this fight.

Recognize it for what it is....

A commemoration for those who bravely died in their fight to expand islam!

Fouad El Bayly, leader of the Islamic Center of Johnstown, said the crescent isn't a holy symbol, but one identified with the lunar Muslim calendar.

I see this design as yet another in a series of attacks on America being conducted by an enemy within ~ my disgust for this design is surpassed only by my outrage at those among us who are fervently working to destroy this nation!

I think the fact this movie is on the Discovery Channel rather than ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, FX, HBO, TNT, or Showtime says everything that needs to be said about Hollywood.

Make sure the knives are sharp to slaughter the Animals (Christians or infidels). This is the mindset of the Religion of Peace. Up to its old tricks. Central Asia and India had a Holocaust the world has forgotten. Millions enslaved, Buddhism eliminated and its monks slaughtered like animals. Anyone other than Moslems treated like slaves, taxed or killed. This is Islam laid bare for humanity to see. If Islam cannot evolve into a peaceful faith, that renounces warfare then it must be exterminated. That our sheep on the Left want to appease these animals means they are unwilling to fight to defend themselves.

Like the Alamo, Flight 93 was evidence that the passion for freedom still is in the American psyche. That the passengers took a vote is a very American trait. Free people rule by consensus and Free Men and Women must fight to stay free. That the Iraqis still are willing to suffer to win theirs is tribute to our Republic and our American Ideals. That the Far Left is excusing this is why we must view them as Traitors.

Four years and many of our countrymen are already rationalizing this behavior. How Many times did you see the Twin Towers falling on TV yesterday? Not at all. We are not supposed to remember. It might upset us children. Even Fox is preoccupied with the Hurrican and New Orleans. The only real Conservative/Moderate Network is deemphasizing 911 and our attack. America has the attention span of a microwave dinner. We demand instant victories, instant Disaster Relief, instant prosperity etc.

Central Asia and India had a Holocaust the world has forgotten.

India in the seventh century was arguably the most advanced civilization in the world, with the possible exception of China. They had cities of stone, paved roads, running water and features better than or equal to the Roman Empire at its most advanced stages. This included not only modern day India but the entire subcontinent.

Islamization brought not only a holocaust, but a rapid decline of that civilization. Indians are very proud of an advanced civilization that once was and are determined that it shall rise again.

I can't believe I missed this...I was trying to find the listing during the games Sunday...

Nothin' jumped out at me on the guide to show me when and where it was showing...

Is the Discovery Channel going to re-air it???

Watched it last night. Excellent! Hard to hold back the tears.

If you missed it watch for re-runs, I'm sure there will be many.
