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.
Are you in some kind of camp that believes that all resistance on that flight, no matter how inept, is fictitious? Obviously they resisted, I just don't think that they brought the plane down. Please remember, witnesses say the plane started breaking up BEFORE it hit the ground. Doesn't take an Einstien to figure that one out.
We have a friend whose daughter was on Flt. 93. The family got to hear a lot more about what happened than what we will ever know. Although I don't know everything, I can tell you that from what they were able to piece together, the people on that flight died defending their country.
