I will continue to believe the passengers were hero's...

Um, hello? Am I reading the same story as you folks?
It looks to me like the story says that a passenger uprising ("let's roll") caused the hijackers to abort their mission and suicide the plane into a field. OF COURSE, the passengers were heroic....what am I missing here?

You aren't missing anything. In other words, everything we believed about the heroism of the passengers was true. This story takes the same facts and tries to make it look like somehow the effort is diminished. It only proves that the passengers WERE heroes and that the lowlifes at AP are subhuman scum. But we already knew all of that anyway.

The thing you are missing is that some people are not able to understand what they read.
