You try to remember the President of Iran's name- I can't. Either Steyn or COulter came up with Imonajihad and it works for me.

I give the passengers more credit for their action than you do-- having never been in anything remotely like this, I find it very hard to second guess. I'm just glad they got the chance to act before they slammed into the Capitol or WH. Do we know for sure that the terrorists in the front didn't have hostages for example?

I think the passengers took action once they reached the threshold where they felt that death was inevitable if action wasn't taken.

I agree, they hesitated too long. - Partly due to a lack of weapons. -- A few knives might have made all the difference.

I'm remarking mainly on their inability to defend themselves. -- I guess you could say I'm 'second guessing' the authorities that disarmed them, but I'm not impugning the passengers courage.

For sure? - Of course not, but to my knowledge of events nothing was said on cell phones about live hostages.
