the people on the first 2 flights probobly thought they were going to be ransomed. In that instance I would probobly not fight if I thought I would get out alive either way.

No one can blame the passengers for not fighting back. I fly a lot. Since I was a kid (in the 1970's) the drill was that you obey hijackers. You landed (usually in Cuba) and it ended. There was no precedent for this.

Since 9-11, things are clear. As Patrick Swayze said in "Red Dawn", "If you're gonna die, die standing up!"
