If you get a chance, a republishing of those charts would be appreciated. I've read/seen a lot of stuff on this story, and I am absolutely amazed that no one, seemingly, believes as I do....that this disaster could have easily prevented (not the plane crashes, but everything else) had cockpit cabins been retro-fitted (as they should have been) over the last few years. It is mind-boggling, as I am hearing and a flight attendent friend of mine has told me, that the pilots leave the cockpit whenever is a disturbance in the cabin- in this case, a stabbing....What a simple, horrible breach of security which apparently the airlines have known about and endorsed for many, many years. Had those cockpits been secure, the terrorists may have killed passengers, but they could not have crashed those planes. Its that simple. If fact, if the cockpits would have been re-trofitted, maybe there would have been no attack, since there was no way the terrrorits could have accomplished their goal. And the fact that no one is talking in these terms, and, subsequently asking the airlines, "why didn't you do something about this, given all the CLEAR warning signs, close calls in past"...well, I am dumbfounded, I must say.
