The film depiction of Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania on 9/11/01 is being shown on the Discovery Channel at 9 pm Eastern time.
That is in less than one hour for people in all time zones that are on satellite feed.
A FReeper lost his Dad on this flight and wants everyone to watch.
He says it has some (but not all) of the real communications from the plane.
Does anybody know why Todd Beamers wife was left out of this?
Those 40 people on that plane make all the whiny-ass, finger-pointing politicians and bureaucrats we've been listening to for the last week look so small. So very small.
Where was Tod Beemers wife in this presentation?
I think it's overloaded. Not surprising.
She's never done interviews that I can recall.
Well, that would still be better than a cresent, wouldn't it
Me too
That is a complete and total insult
Oh and if anyone would like to contact Fast Eddie

Complete agreement here. And to think that those congresscritters probably owe these extraordinary citizens their lives.
"After watching this, I WANNA KICK SOME A$$"
Same here, it was hard to watch but then I found myself wanting to go into my gun safe and look over my weapons..
I loved that scared look on the terrorists face when he saw all those people running at him in front of the cabin door.. I got to tell ya.. I would not be responsible for my actions if I had a piece of that guy.

I think any shape that could be viewed from the air would look like a target - I think it should blend in more from the air - and just be powerful when seen up close.
Thanks for the link.
I thought it was strange that when I did a Google search for Elizabeth Wainio' sister, a .pdf file from heinz.org came up. Now I know why! Thanks!
Discovery is re-running "The Flight That Fought Back" at 11pm, est.
Jack.
It's on again. Time for the next batch of viewer comments.
Just wait...Hollywood will soon put out a movie showing all the "failures" of the Bush administration after Katrina.
But, it will be a long time before we see a movie about 9-11.
We're talking about rural PA here (no offense to anyone there--I'm captive in suburban PA). It's not like there's much out there, or a great many people who would be affected (as opposed to any city). Terrorists would be able to *drive* up to a memorial out there to destroy it, but it's not like destroying it would scare anyone. Remember, they want to cause terror, and burning a bunch of trees out there won't come anywhere near doing that. I'd be much more concerned about them blowing up one of the gobs of refineries here by Philly.
Deserves an Oscar Nomination but I guess they can't do that since it was on TV. So I suppose it is an Emmy.
