hmmm

This is only slightly off-topic, but what sickens me is how these planes in particular were hijacked... With pocket knives and box cutters!!! You mean to tell me that on a flight of even 50 passengers, not one person was willing to risk the CHANCE of losing their life by "disarming" the hijackers?!? I may only be speaking for myself, but I like to think that I'd step up and lose my life to save those of 49 others. And if multiple people stood up to one person, then there is even less of a chance of injury. I am sorry if someone is offended by my forthrightness, however I wish to make everyone see how "we" in collective, can take a stand together!

I, too, like the idea of 2 air marshalls per flight. One dressed in uniform as a mental reminder of security; the other in regular attire prepared to be back up.

The plane in Pensylvania was indeed 're-captured' by the passengers, in the end saving many lives.
The other guys thought they would just be held up on a runway for a few days until their release was negotiated. They only realized to late,

I think what happened was that one off the passengers was in contact via cell phone and was informed as to what was happening earlier on.

They think the second plane to hit the WTC had people trying to get the plane back, cuz' they say the building on fire, and then realized what was going to happen. They say this because the nose started to go down before they hit the WTC, indicating a loss of control.

The plane in Pensylvania, they didnt know they were going to crash at first. When the guy phoned his wife, he said they had been hijacked and they said they had a bomb, but him and a couple of guys were going to do something about it. They might have found out when he called, but either way they are heroes.

Normally, hijackers want money or some political agenda, they land the plane and start negotiating.
