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.
Nope, I didn't misunderstand your point. I just don't think you would have figured it out. ;)
