>>...because of a passenger uprising in the cabin...<<

Isn't the "cockpit" on an airliner called the "cabin"?

If so, then an "uprising" in the cabin by passengers was the cause of the crash. Meaning the passengers CAUSED THE CRASH.

Heros still, in spite of Reuters.

I made a mistake crediting the source, this is AP not Reuters.

I guess it just seemed so reutersish I jumped to conclusions.

I beleive the "cabin" is where the passengers sit; hence the term "cabin attendents". Anyway, the heroic passengers saved the White House.

no, the cabin is where the passengers sit, the cockpit is where the pilots sit

They are still heroes, all....
