have you listened to the Betty Ong audiotape from flight 11?

it was mentioned by her that mace was sprayed in first class and they were huddled to coach. there was conversation in the background mentioning that Karen Martin had been stabbed. I think it turns out she was the first victim that day. just makes me sick, angry etc.

I saw Karen Martin's remembrance on a site..it was very well done. september11victims.com

just can't comprehend how a cockpit could ever be breached.

Remember this incident from 1994 Fedex?---

"FedEx Flight 705, a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30, experienced an attempted hijacking on April 7, 1994."

en.wikipedia.org

fortunately 3 crew were in the cockpit rather than 2 as originally scheduled. even though attacked with a hammer by a martial-arts expert, the 3 crew managed to slowly contain the nut.

they did a great job and saved many since it appears the hijacker would have crashed into a Fedex building
