I wish I could remember who made this point:
Before 9/11 hijacked planes almost always had a chance of a hopeful end. They weren’t intended as weapons.
Osama relied on this. It worked until the passengers on United 93 learned what was up and took their courage action.
That ended Osama’s power with this tactic. The age of bin Laden ended with the words: “Let’s roll!”
It sure did. Me and mine will uphod that - to the end.
