I just watched it, they're airing it twice here.
It's a must watch, the passengers were heroes and the piece is well done.

Same here. I watched it the first time, and thought it was worth giving my fellow FReepers a heads-up.

Absolutely.

Thanks for posting this. This story is incredible. The passengers on that flight fired the first "shot" in the War on Terror and their nation owes them so much for their heroism.

I missed it the first time, watching it now and recording the second run. The young man playing Mark Bingham went to school with our son.....they've kept in contact all these years. Jason always wanted to be an actor and I personally think he did an excellent job. *~*

I saw it the when it first aired. It was well done.

It received very little attention from MSM. Gee, I wonder why?

I watched the last 30 minutes of the first and am watching the second rebroadcast now.

After 10 minutes I am as mad as I was on 9-11! I'm so mad I wish I was young so I could join the military again, put on the armor with the Red Cross on the chest, grab a sword and head for the mid east!
I don't know which makes me more angry! Muslim terrorists or Dem terrorist supporters!

(must calm down, think calm thoughts, breathe slow and deep)

Thanks for the heads-up.

On a related note, don't anyone bother watching "The Presidents" on the History Channel. I saw two episodes last night and they are incredibly slanted toward the Left. They make loads of excuses for Carter and Johnson and poo-poo the notion that Reagan had anything to do with the downfall of the Soviet Union. I stopped watching after that.

Don't calm down. I just watched it and I'm MAD AS HELL!

Don't tell me that Islam isn't the enemy! I'm tired of the platitudes, I'm tired of the excuses, I'm tired of the "moderate" islamofascists refusing to condemn what their brethren are doing. THEY ARE ALL GUILTY! Their religion appeals to the absolute WORST of human nature and they revel in it and we don't do enough to DESTROY THEM. They are a curse on this earth.

One thing for sure - in spite of the Republicrat apologists and the outright traitors in the Demoncrat party - this film has shown that WE WILL PREVAIL because we are FREE MEN AND WOMEN. Now start acting like it, fools!

AMERIKA ERWACHT!

Phew!

Just watched the show. It was excellent. Kiefer Sutherland narrated it. Is it possible he is the opposite of his communal hippie father?

Possibly. A search of political donations returns no hits for Kiefer Sutherland.

Am I the only cynical one?

I wonder what portrayal Hollywood will concoct about F-91?

Facts not in evidence or otherwise aside....

Just to remind folks...there isn't anyone alive today who was on that plane and can confirm what we would all 'love' to believe happened...thats just a sour reality check...

Its been quite the leap of faith concerning flight 91...here and elsewhere..

Nobody knows what happened on 91. Nobody.

Make sure when your watching this you understand...its nothing but fantasy.

Everyone is so certain there was a heroic series of events...whereby certain passengers thwarted a certain disaster on our capital....

That is nothing but wishful guesswork and personal bias.

The bottom line is that nobody knows what happened on 91

And how do we honor the heroes of Flight 93? By creating a memorial honoring our muslim enemy called the Crescent of Embrace. A truly despicable travesty.

It's a good reminder. You haven't forgot? Good for you. We almost elected Kerry and the Rats still don't believe we are at war with Islamic terrorists.

There were many phone calls placed to and received from the passengers aboard with some passengers describing in detail the events they were witnessing. One person listened to the open telephone all the way to when it crashed into the ground. There is also the cockpit voice recording that has been transcribed and played for the families to listen to which details what was occurring in the cockpit. The flight data recorder recorded all of the input to the flight controls and all the buttons that were being pushed and the switches that were being turned. So actually quite a bit more is known about the events aboard United Flight 91 than you say.

I didn't choose for the events of that day to happen. However, I choose never to forget.
