Well said my friend. Again, I mean no disrespect and I'm not disputing the unconfimed reports that several passengers overpowered the terroists and caused the safe (compared to what it could have been) crash of that jet. As a matter of fact based on other acts of heroism during other tragic events, it is a very believable (and likely) scenario. IF the theory that a U.S. fighter jet shot the plane down turns out to be true, I have to say that the fighter pilot (or pilots) should also be considered a hero. Just imagine if that were your mission...shooting down a highjacked passenger jet to save countless number of lives in the nations capital. The resolve, the mental discipline, the logical thought and sense of duty needed to carry out those orders would have to be tremendous. However, I do hope the reported story is true and not the scenario I've presented.
