chills, tears and blood bumps. if this isn't war with a planetary sickness, there never could be. terrorists and their ilk need to be eradicated at the root and be what they've become somewhere off this planet.

We'll never know for sure what would have happened if these brave men had not acted. But without a doubt, it would have been far worse than the tragedy of a crash into an isolated and uninhabited tract of land.
Heroes, without a doubt.

There still are Americans with guts. God bless them and theirs.
We'll see if their country is worthy of such people and their courage.
One of the first things America should do is to stop supporting the Muslim terrorists in the Balkans. We should take the $billions we're spending on the Albanian terrorists and spend it on the Americans who died. We should also pull our troops out, so they can fight terrorists, not support them. I wonder if we will ever get our priorities straight?

I can only imagine the helpless feeling it must have been standing there... It seems this man had a greater strength that I can only hope God gives me in times detailed above...

Let us honor those who gave all that they had to give to protect others.

Real geniuses, these red headband wearing scum, letting the passengers make phone calls.
Can you believe these maniacs with bad facial hair are STILL trying to get on planes dressed as pilots?
I think the well has run dry on that scheme.
I hear theres a new special airfare for all passengers named Muhammed.
All tickets to all destinations are now 1 million dollars and they must travel naked in the luggage compartment.

does anyone know if the air space around white house is protected and if so how? I always thought that if you went into restricted air space you could be shot down by anti aircraft artillery.

The best of the best went down with that plane. I pray that knowing their loved ones were heroes will in time give them a little measure of comfort. May they never be forgotten.

As I've posted before, I believe that the rules prohibiting the awarding of MOH's to civilians should be suspended. If anyone deserves it, it's these heros.
