Ah, so if the United States still maintained the alert sites it once did, so that armed aircraft could be launched instantly, and a pilot would have been available to shoot down the second aircraft before it could have crashed into the WTC, he would be a murderer?

The term "jumping the shark" now comes to mind.

If you don’t understand what I wrote, try reading it again. If the problem is that you don’t know what murder is, or you really don’t know that it’s wrong, you need more help than a stranger on the Internet can provide.

If a terminally ill patient was flying low at a high velocity on an intended collision course with a building I guess the right thing to do would be to shoot them down.

I just hope their hospital gown is closed at the back. It would be very undignified to be shot out of the sky while mooning the general population.

Or I guess Hawkeye in “The Last of the Mohicans” was a murderer when he shot the British major to keep him from being burned to death at the stake? (for those unfamiliar with the story - flames were actually licking at his body - not talking about theory of what should be done here but what had to be done)
