Once I knew that terrorists had used two other planes as missiles? Sure. I would have preferred to die trying as opposed to die sitting. I would have been 44 at the time and far, very far, from my peak condition, but I would have charged with the rest. I probably would have thought that I was going to die anyway and I might as well go out helping to stop the murderers. I probably would have been bellowing out a Hail Mary as I charged and maybe that would have helped unnerve the terrorists! God bless United Flight 93. They began the fight back on a very bleak day.
Good Question

Full credit to those who responded on Flight 93, because I know I would have remained passive in my seat, awaiting death. But no more. They set the example for me. I will not be a passive, quiet witness to my victimhood and killing.
Same here.
I would’ve looked for the biggest Muslim terrorist & strangled him the best I could.
With the 20th anniversary of 9/11 coming to an end, I would ask for prayers for Raymond E. Murphy, FDNY, who gave his life on that horrific day.
Prayers on the way.

Done. RIP, brother.
Thank you.
