Caught it last night. Pretty moving and really stirs up old feelings. I didn't realize the passengers may have killed one of the hijackers, ramming him with a cart and scalding him with hot water. That would be great if true, but we'll never really know 🙁
 
I would assume they gang stomped at least one of those asshats. Watching this nearly had me to tears at a couple of spots, especially when they replayed the actual voicemails that people were leaving to their family to say goodbye.
 
nobody knows 100% what happened at the very end

i stayed up watching this, have to finish tonight

it was very good, all americans should see this and know why the islamic terrorists can't defeat us.

all U.S. school children should see this documentary in high school
 
The change in peoples' attitudes since 9/11 has been evident. During past highjackings people always sat down and kept quiet. Now someone even tries to get in the cockpit door and he tends to get the crap kicked out of him by crew and passengers.
 
well no sh|t, SS. Nobody wants to die. Who'd just sit there and die when they could do something about it and save lives? I will refrain from cynical comments about NOLA.

Thing is, none of the incidents since then have been with groups, and none have been armed that I have heard of. Nothing like the other flights where the highjackers were cutting the throats of flight attendants and such. I hope people are as brave if there is a future highjacking and the terrorists have more than boxcutters.

did they ever decide what the terrorists wanted to hit with it?

i have heard it was either the capitol building (congress) or the white house

i don't know if they had just one target or were going to decide at the last minute

the capitol building would have more impact IMO and Bush was out of town, i am sure they knew the president was out of town
 
I'm not usually a 'government cover up' kind of guy, but I still think there's a good chance that plane was shot down.

Too many eye witnesses say otherwise.

EyeMWing, your theory was just shot down.

the Military was not given permission to shoot any plane down until 28 minutes after Flight 93 crashed.

my gf told me that too, but you know what? consider the sources!
 
I just watch that show last night. It was very touching indeed, just made me think again that the terrorist of any kind, big or small are just cowards.
 
The civilian pilot that saw the flight said otherwise. And explosion in the air accounts are VERY erroneous. They said the same thing about the Airbus that lost its tail over NYC. Don't confuse it with flt 800 either.

I saw interview after interview that there was an explosion in teh air before it hit the ground... AIM-120's are amazing things.... http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/factfile/missiles/wep-amr.html

I really never wanted to doubt what happened on that plane, but i was peeled to the TV screen for like the next 48 hours after the 9/11 incident. There was one report of a conversation of a passenger in the restrooms of the plane saying that "a bomb went off" and that there was smoke coming into the cabin.

after that one single report, it was NEVER mentioned again.

There was another report of a piece of the aircraft was miles away from the crash site.

😕 🙁

also i'd figure that the defense dept would've scrambled all fighters into the air to prevent any more planes from crashing into other biuldings across the US, since flight 93 was still in the air going the wrong direction towards DC after the attacks

also didn't the plane crash like an hour after the WTC incident?
 
The picture I have seen of the post incident mushroom cloud show no evidence of a smoke trail to site.

:cry;
 
If anyone has done independent research, they would see that the evidence clearly points to the plane being shot down. While it seems like the passengers did try to get a revolt going, that did not cause the crash. The plane was shot down by the government. Plain and simple. No stupid wacky conspiracy theories, that is what happened.
