What a credit to the USA the passengers and crew were on that plane; I spent the last third of the documentary in tears. We all have to die, and if it has to be in that way then I would want to go down fighting, rather than sitting stunned and weeping in my seat.

America, you must be so proud of your children. I salute you.

Wow. I haven't seen it, and won't (I'm unable to deal with anything that has to do with suffering since having a child - my mommy instincts just incapacitate me with grief). But I have always thought highly of the people on that plane - good to know the movie did them some justice.

Alex - I thought I saw something that it was not that herotic as first antisipated, I think I saw that in some news doc 5-8 month ago, but hi Im not sure and I hope they are wrong in that.

Oliver stone is gonna release a movie this year about the towers.

not sure if they did fight back, as in I have no proof, but it's safe to say that if they knew the fate, they would have fought back. Better to die trying.

The whole incident is in question.

I'm presuming that this is the programme...

Whether that's the correct show or not, I personally know not. I did notice this on the page Syzygy referenced though:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Producer Phil Craig explains how unprecedented access to family members helped filmmakers to recreate what they believe actually happened on Flight 93.

Emphasis mine, but that is the "caveat emptor" of this & other productions on this subject.

Yep thats how if I had to go id like to go down fighting.

Their fight wasnt lost, they won, many lives were saved by their bravery.
