From the news reports of telephone conversations, apparently the 42 passengers and crew of Unitied flight 93, which crashed in Penn.,knew they were going to die and decided to take back their plane. Stopping the plane from crashing into another target and killing many more innocent people. If this is true it is an act of bravery that should not be forgotten by this nation.

I agree. I, too feel that they sacrificed themselves to save others. They should be posthumously (sp?) awarded medal of valors (or whatever is allowed for citizens in such a situation). God bless them and receive them into his loving arms. And everyone else who has (or will) perish as a result of this.

If that is the case Mr. Harris, then I consider those people on that flight heroes. I mean, to know that you are going to die anyway, to crash, but to try to at least aim the plane away from innocent civilians, fighting those hijackers, most likely taking fatal injuries in the process, is indeed a heroic deed. Many people would just panic and do nothing. Those brave people lost their lives, but saved many at the same time. They are in heaven now, I'm sure of it.

i hope that nobody forgets their brave deeds, and honors them for years to come. i hope to, one day, commit a similar act of bravery, only when certain death isnt imminent.
------------------ It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul. Super Sephiroth, slayer of the Uber Fluffy, and battle co-ordionator and defender of the HADB clan. Diplomacy is all and well, but HADB is better! |

I completely agree, John! I have heard the same reports(they took a vote on it), and couldn't help but think that these are true Americans in action! Take them down before they can take any one else. Unfortunately, they lost their lives, but they saved so many! I hope to see them in Heaven! ------------------ Captain of Bouncers, Boogre Bar LH Member General Woundwort's body was never found. It could be that he still lives his fierce life somewhere else. But from that day forward, mothers would tell their kittens that if they were not good, the General would get them. Such was Woundwort's monument, and perhaps it would not have displeased him. |
