I concur. That's what I understand happened on the flight that crashed south of Pittsburgh. Once they found out that other planes were used as weapons, they did all they could to prevent their plane from doing the same, and they paid the ultimate sacrifice, not for themselves, but for us. Who knows how many lives they saved. Although they died, they died with honor. And I thank them for it. In a way, I envy them.

These people have declared war on us, and like it or not we are all soldiers. There's only so much that the governments, airports, and air lines can do for us. We have to do the rest. We have to keep our eyes and ears open, and be prepared to act on our own if need be. There are too many flights to put air marshals on every one of them. However, if the folks on those high jacked planes knew what was intended for the planes, I think they would have retaken or crashed the planes rather than allow them to be used as fuel bombs. We need to be prepared to do the same. If the goons are convinced that we will, they might be less likely to try that particular trick again. -- Michael C.
