Just to put this to rest once and for all:

My father, Patrick Joseph Driscoll, was a passenger on United Flight #93 which crashed into a field near Shanksville, PA.

I was one of the few that were fortunate enough to hear the cockpit voice recorder. I want to assure all fellow freepers that there was absolutely NO WAY that the plane was shot down. This was fabricated by those who feel the need to feed such garbage to the conspiracy theorists.

Thank you for sharing what must be very painful for you. Prayers for your father and your family.

I'll take your word for it as I was one of the doubters.

Thanks for sharing your eyewitness report, sans details, with us.

May God bless your father and the rest of the heroes of Flight 93.

Thanks, Chris.
Your family is in my prayers.

Salute to your father, and to you for your courage in stating the obvious.

Anything significant on the tape other than the fear expressed by the terrorist, murdering, hijacking dirtbags?

Sorry to just now hear of your father's death. May he rest in peace. Thanks for telling us for sure that the plane was not shot down--although I never thought it was, I had heard the "conspiracy" stories.

Thanks for that info Chris. Some folks just want to stir the pot and they forget who it could hurt. May God Bless your father and your family!

[The Duke]

For me you've put any such doubts completely to rest. I will share the knowledge as opportunity avails itself.

Thank you.

Sincere condolences on the loss of your dad.

Your father and his fellow passengers were so brave, may they rest in peace. "Greater love than this hath no man, that he lay down his life for another..."

The US Dist Attorney made it very clear that we should not discuss specifics about what we heard on the tape with the press or public. They are an incredible amount of evidence against the 20th hijacker. They don't want loose lips to compromise the case. That said I can only say that there was a woman pleading for her life which was rather disturbing. And that I came away with solid proof of what I felt all along. That is a matter of minutes, 40 strangers/Americans came together to mount an effort to overthrow the animal scum that took their lives to soon. In doing so, they saved hundreds of lives and a national landmark. They deserve our praise. I am proud to be the son of Patrick Joseph Driscoll. He is my personal hero. Chris

Listening to those tapes takes courage.

God Bless You, Chris, and your loved ones.

"Thank you" is just not sufficient for the sacrifice your father and the others on the flight made for our country.

We will keep them all in our prayers. True Heroes forever.
