Are you suggesting that this is the first time you heard of the 'battle in the cockpit' story? Up until now, it's been the popular perception, as the articles (correctly) says.

For crying out loud, you are on the internet, surely you can find ONE STORY where this is stated as fact?

I've heard speculation, but I've also heard stated over and over and over, "we'll never know what really happened".

Thats exactly what I'm saying - the preferred speculative story (up until now, actually) was that the 'lets roll' posse got to the cockpit. They didn't. Most people who could think for themselves didn't but it then.

This story supports that skepticism.

We will never know what really happened, but we can say with some conviction that the 'overtaking the cockpit/fighting for controls/crash in the field' story is just that, a 'story.'

This doesn't diminish the americans on the plane who resisted. I think there is enough evidence to support that. I'm just saying that pretty much the preferred myth has been debunked. Though we will never be 'sure.'
