That's not fair. I don't know exactly how old Todd Beamer was, but when the people on the flight that crashed in Pennsylvania knew what the plan was for their plane, they rose up and confronted the enemy.

We have no proof that Mr. Beamer and his friends actually brought down that plane. On the contrary, there is evidence that I have read, and though my sources in the aviation industry that say that it was brought down by another plane. I'll let you conect the dots.

The point is Beamer and his comrades resisted the hijackers. Up until that point, everyone on these planes, from the passengers to the flight attendants to the pilots, had been taught "give the hijackers what they want and everything will be okay". However, once the people on the Beamer flight recognized that this was a suicide pact, they resisted vigorously.

Are you in some kind of camp that believes that all resistance on that flight, no matter how inept, is fictitious?

My analogy is that the American people are still at the beginning of their arousal state, and that society will react to protect itself if it feels that big daddy government can't do it.

Maybe I'm wrong.
