I just watched the discovery channel movie, "The Flight that Fought Back". Had quite an impact on me. This is the true story of Flight #93 that crashed in Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001 after being hijacked. The film is narrated and pieced together by the families of the passengers on that plane. Many of these family members spoke over the telephone to the victims after the hijacking occurred. I urge everyone to watch this movie.
I will not get into my political views or the war in Iraq because that is not what this thread is about.
There were voice recordings of the flights that crashed into the World Trade Center. The hijackers were telling the passengers that they were going to land the plane and make demands. They told the passengers to stay seated and that they'd be safe... the passengers believed them and this is why thousands of other people died that day.
Flight #93 was hijacked by 4 people, one of whom was flying the plane after the flight crew were killed. There were 33 people on board. Clearly these people were enough to overpower the terrorists. These people fought back and probably saved many lives. All hijackers hope that our fears will allow them to successfully murder innocent people.
If I am ever faced with a terrorist, I will fight and die if necessary because it is my best chance of living. If everyone shares this attitude, then no hijacking will ever be successful. We have the strength to stop terrorist attacks. The real war against terror must sometimes be fought by regular people, because we are the targets. Innocent people are sacrificed for political strategy. There are too many of us for everyone to be protected at all times. Please pass along this message to anyone. Regular citizens are the only people who can truly stop terrorists. If citizens are strong and angry, our society will no longer be plagued by the murderers like those from 9/11. Just because we are innocent does not mean we are weak.
I'm urging everyone reading this, if someone tries to victimize you... fight. I promise I'll do the same.
