None of us want any American to find the real depths of their strength and bravery. But if it happened again (and I'm afraid it might), I think the average American will do what they have to do. It's who we are.
I just realized tonight that I probably flew over Shanksville or near bouts. That is a scary and somber thought.
If I was in a hijacked situation, would I have been brave as the passengers and crew of United 93? I can't tell you right now because I am not in that situation. But...when courage and determination overcomes fear, imagine what people can do...
