Then you must also admit to being incredibly ignorant.
The men "rolling" on flight 93 knew the hi-jacked plane was now a weapon aimed at causing mass casualties.They knew they were dead anyway, and while I am sure they also tried to save their own lives, they had obviously decided not to allow even more lives to be forfeited by what they knew was a flying bomb.
The passengers on Flight 93 did not want to die.They knew they would die anyway if they did nothing.They choose to fight for life,their own first, and if not theirs, others who were not already doomed.
I doubt all of them actively participated, but that is, and should remain a subject not open to spurious,casual debate.I have put myself mentally on that flight, and I can honestly say I dont know what I would have done.I wish I could state that I would have joined in the "rolling", but I was not there, and I can not be sure of how I would have reacted in that situation.
Enough heroic people did react, that the murderous terrorists failed to reach their target.
I was alone, online, and reduced to internet and radio reports that day,and I remember what happened, and the timeline and it sickens me that people would dare to spit on the memory of the people of Fliht 93.
I am also ex USAF, and if the USAF had actually shot down a civilian airliner on the CONUS on 91101,it is not possible for that fact to remain a secret, sick conspirancy theory jerks be damned!

God bless you for having the best post of the thread and one of the best posts since 9/11 on this subject.

HOW the plane went down is not particularly relevant. WHY it went down -- directly from the actions of the passengers -- is the only thing that matters now.

"Let's roll" will resonate with Americans for generations to come.
