It is definitely 20/20 as the other 3 flight outcomes indicate. No one figured the hijackers were going to do what they did. I imagine one of the reasons the hijackers took 4 planes was they knew this was a one time event. No passengers in the future will sit passively while hijackers hold them off with knives and threats of a bomb. The outcome of flight #4 shows this.
As soon as I heard about flight #4 doing a nosedive into a field, I figured the flight crew had tried to fight off the hijackers. They did the only logical thing in the circumstance, perhaps a rather stoic point of view, but that does not mean it didn't take a great deal of courage to do it! They are true heros! Who is alive today, who would not have been, save for these brave men!
I think you misunderstood by point.These people are heroes. But because there were NO guns present, that would have told me that the plane isn't going to land.It won't be in the air long enough to prevent the passengers from attempting to seize control, so ergo, I, as a hijacked passenger, have two rotten choices.I either die fighting,hopeing to thwart their plans, or I die in a suicide mission.
If they would have had guns, my calculation would be different, but I can say honestly, I would have tried to storm in any of the 4 planes because that was the only hand left to play.It sounds like Game Theory, but in a sense it is.A brutal one, with no happy outcome.
