Wow. That is a Crazy Story. :shock:

Thats quite interesting.

That is, in my opinion, how those terrorist fucks should be dealt with. Which bring me to another point. I still dont understand how 9-11 even happened. I dont know about you all, but I personally would much rather chanced getting stabbed with a box cutter than let myself and hundreds of other passengers be flown in to the side of a building.

Story has it that the terrorists locked themselves in to the cockpit before anyone could do anything. I guess I wasnt there and I can say for sure.. but it seems like too many people just "let it happen" ...who knows.

You have to look at the time period in which it happened Neb. Up to that point just about every time terrorists would take planes was to take hostages and then try and get some demands heard/done. Hollywood reenforced this point with many movies doing exactly that and I would think that's what the passengers were thinking. 'We'll cooperate and this will be over soon.' If the terrorists had stood up and said "we're going to fly the plane into a building" I'm positve that even the toddlers on the plane would of been going for the throat.

Yeah, I think the era of complacent passengers is pretty much over.

I hope this guy succeeds at his business and his professional life falls together. He sounds like he's a regular guy with a good head on his shoulders.

even if it doesnt, we should stand behind him and do whatever we can to support him and his family.

Yea.
