I have to say that I agree with the original
part of this - I have been discussing this
with my colleagues and I know for a FACT (and
yeah its a lot easier to say this when you're
not involved) that I would definately take
the risk... the chances are you're gonna die
anyway. If the plane was on the ground or
part of a "hostage scenario" thats different
but I am surprised not one person would have
tried anything. But who knows... perhaps they
did.
Just my thoughts.
Unfortunately, I think you're mistaken here, Bill.
The typical American of
today hasn't the courage to risk his life as an individual, even if it means
being slaughtered as part of a group. That same American hasn't the courage to
call the cops if he sees someone breaking into his neighbor's house or car,
because he fears being singled out as an honest individual, rather than part of
the corrupt masses.

I doubt that. As a matter of fact, I think that
most airline hijacking will cease to be effective.
I think that, after this, any able bodied person
on a hijacked plane will resist with their life.
I know that I would, rather than die as part of
an instrument used to kill many more.
