Beamer was a natural leader. The country is the lesser for not having him still with us. The good thing is that every plane carries someone of that quality. In time of Crisis, they will out.
I'm curious how you devined that from the film. All we have to go on are cockpit voice recorders. I think Greengrass was smart in making it a united effort. Specifically, no one person "took control". Each person portrayed had their own strengts. Burnett kept cool and was collected, etc. I think it was appropriate also to portray that not all of us can assume such courage under a circumstance like this. I would guess roughly 20 people on that flight made an attempt to enter the cockpit. That's just smart storytelling. Could you be sure you could make such a stand? I myself do not know for sure.
Hi all, just came from the movie tonight. I feel like I just returned from a funeral. It was just like Rush said " people walked out like they were leaving a funeral". Quite and not a word spoken till the parking lot. I lost it three times, first when the plane hit the Twin Towers, second when they were calling everyone and saying "I love you" and of course the end. The theatre was full house.
