Flight Attendants Stabbed Aboard Twin Tower Kamikaze Plane

A violent struggle with knife-wielding terrorists took place outside the cockpit of one of two hijacked planes before it slammed into the World Trade Center Tuesday morning, a flight attendant on board reported to American Airlines before her death.

"A flight attendant on that plane was apparently able to call the American Airlines operations center to tell them that two flight attendants had been stabbed and that the perpetrators had broken into the flight deck," ABC Radio News reported.

The plane was enroute from Boston to Los Angeles when it was commandeered by terrorists for its kamikaze mission.

Yes. Unfortunately the majority are. And now we pay for it.

Simple answer: Arm All Pilots.

Hey, if you can't trust a man with a gun, why trust him with an aircraft? or a car... or the vote...?

CNN reported that Olson told her husband that the terrorists used knives and cardboard cutters. She talked to him twice during the hi-jacking. She also said that there was more than one hi-jacker.

Actually, I agree. A pilot has potentially hundreds of lives in his care while he's flying an aircraft. Makes sense to me to at least consider the possibility of arming them.

I'm SOOO GLAD that we so RIGOROUSLY ENFORCE the "no weapons" policy for both passengers and crew on our airlines.

Why just think of all the people that might have been killed (try saved) if the some of the passengers and crew had been armed.

Worse case scenario: The plane would have been lost, but the WTC towers would have been spared -- and that is where most of the lives were lost.

P.S. How come we are so terrbily afraid to bring weapons aboard airliners, but ALL THESE DAMN TERRORISTS were somehow able to get on these jets armed?

Only if they don't use thm. I have real concerns about what might happen when a 9mm round exits the thin skin of a pressurized 757 at flight level 340.

I hope she told him WHO they were; and knowing Barbara, she did.

Just imagine the horror she went through, probably realizing what was going to happen.......and poor Ted, sitting there, unable to do anything about it.

Let all who possess a concealed carry permit actually CARRY their weapon and maybe events like this could be avoided. After all it's just like a terrorist--bringing a knife to a gun fight.

Doesn't every El-Al (Israeli Airline) have 2 armed commandos on board? We are stupid, because we sacrifice liberty for security and get neither.

If anything good can come out of this, maybe we can get the restoration of our 2nd Amendment rights. How many plane and train and schoolyard tragedies must we witness before we finally realize that the only answer is good, honest, ARMED people to fend off these attacks.

Governor Gray Davis on the tv now... he's got absolutely nothing to do with this.. saying he does not want "reprisals" inside our borders. This is what he thinks of Americans? He is a cynical bastard...

CNN said that Olson was supposed to return yesterday, but couldn't make it. She only flew back to Washington DC to celebrate her husband's birthday with him. It's really sad.
