I grew up on a Marine Corps Air Station.
The pilots I knew would have rammed the airliner to save lives on the ground.
These are people from the same mold as a pilot who stayed with a striken aircraft to barely control it away from a school.
He could have punched out at altitude and let the plane fall where it may, but he was over a populated area and chose to fight it into an empty field.
I’m sure one would have if faced with the choice of that or nothing. I simply posted that the plane would not have been shot down. So my intent was to not diminish the sacrifice of the passengers of flight 93. No insult of the military pilots that day was intended.
