A moment of silence 3 heroic take charge guys named:
Jeremy Glick
Thomas Burnett
Mark Bingham
All young passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 who, cockpit
transcripts and cell phone tapes show apparently rushed the
hijackers along with other male passengers after they found out
they were headed for a Washington DC target and certain death.
In the ensuing hand to hand struggle the plane apparently went
out of control and crashed in remote Pennsylvania killing everyone
onboard... but probably saving hundreds or thousands of lives in
Washington. In fact the plane may have been headed for the U.S.
Congress where it would have killed hundreds of U.S. Senators and
Congressmen and effectively wiped out the U.S. Government. All 3
men were in their early 30's, and left wives and children behind.
I guess this pretty much sums up what eventually is going to be
the world response to all this.
