Wow, SOME Americans not only live in stereotypes (stiff upper lip nonsense) but actually believe they are a superior species.
Is there anything SOME of you won't use to get a dig in at non-Americans?
Maybe I'm being unfair and it's just a human failing.
Ha. It's so easy to arm-chair quarterback...after the fact. It's all nonsense. Nobody knows what they would do when faced with situations like these, and it's ridiculous to imply that one's politics and/or nationality automatically dictate one's personal courage or even will to live. (Jokes about the French aside, lol).
It's also a case of "it wouldn't happen to me." I know I've often wondered if I would have been brave enough to do what the passengers of the PA flight did. I like to think so, but I can't be sure.
