And if the United #93 hadn't been late, it would've been crashed into the US Capital building or White House. And if the passengers on Flight #93 had not heroically stood up and attempted to regain control over the plane, we'd be EVEN MORE likely to have another hijacking.. What they did sent a message to every hijacker (and every future passenger) that the odds were now very slim that one would survive a hijacking by "sitting down and keeping their mouths shut".. After Flight #93 and 9/11, every passenger now recognized they were combatants, not merely victims.. And that fact has made the skies far safer than pre 9/11. Far more than the TSA, or taking off your shoes at the passenger inspection gates. Hawk
