How is it loony? 3 men saved hundreds of lives the day they gave theirs. If 3 men on each of those planes did the same, how many thousands would be alive today? Doesn't matter if they knew what the planes were being used for... if a few men with knives threaten 60 people, it's only logical that they could easily be overpowered.. When there is a threat, a man who hasn't been deballed by the feminist agenda reacts instantly and without concern for his own safety.

There used to be an unwritten code of hijacking, that a compliant crew and passengers would eventually get away unharmed. Remember the hijackers didn't threaten with knives only, they threatened with bombs.
That code changed forever on Tuesday.

Consider the fact that one of the people who did respond in such a manner as you described probably exacerbated the problem. When the terrorists were reportedly killing stewardesses to get the pilots to come out.... If they hadn't responded in your mode, perhaps their plane would not have been commandeered. But that doesn't fit your scenario. Sorry to muck things up with the facts.
