I think that the passengers and crew realised what was happening and went after the high jackers to get the plane back or crash it to save other lives. Very brave very courageous.

I've been expecting to hear such words. Would you please quote the source of your posted reports about Air Force defenders making that very very tough choice for the greater good? Was it a major TV news organization?
Has it been said more than once, like a local official somewhere doing that finger pointing?

How very very sad an assignment for our armed services' personnel.

Thanks, I'll be looking staying up, looking for your reply.

DAY OF INFAMY 2001
Terrorists slit throats
of 2 AA stewardesses
Flight attendants 'were trying to stop them from getting inside the cockpit'

WASHINGTON -- Terrorists who hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 out of Boston Tuesday morning slit the throats of two female flight attendants who tried to bar them from entering the cockpit, an American Airlines employee told WorldNetDaily in an exclusive interview.

The terrorists then forced their way into the locked cockpit and commandeered the Boeing 767 to New York, where they slammed it into one of the World Trade Center towers. The flight, carrying 81 passengers, was bound for Los Angeles.

A third stewardess aboard the nine-crew flight used her cell phone to alert another American Airlines stewardess back at Logan Airport about the hijacking and murders. The terrorists were armed with knives and box-cutters.

"It was horrific," said the senior American Airlines employee, who works at Logan and said goodbye to the crew at the terminal. "They were trying to stop them from getting inside the cockpit."

The plane left the gate at about 7:45 a.m. The cell phone call was placed about 30 minutes later, the source says. The jet crashed into the World Trade Center building at about 8:45 a.m. Soon after, a United Airlines jet sliced through the twin tower.

According to the American source, the American captain managed to turn on the cockpit intercom, apparently without the terrorists knowing, allowing flight controllers to pick up cockpit conversation. The terrorists had turned off the plane's transponder, the equipment that identifies the plane and provides other information to flight controllers tracking it by radar.

As part of their investigation, FBI agents and Massachusetts state troopers have interviewed American Airlines employees and Logan airport workers, including custodians working the morning shift, to rule out an inside job.
