When most of us consider the unbelievable courage and grit displayed by the 40 passengers of

[Atticus]

Flight 93 on 9-11, we find ourselves with over-welling eyes and a catch in our throat. These people---these heroes---acted as we hope we would have acted; these folks were "America" in a nutshell. We will never know how many lives they saved.

And, since I find other things to do whenever Trump speaks, I do not yet know what he said in his address at Shanksville today, but I wonder: did his remarks include "I don't get it. What was in it for them?"

1. How many of us could face our own certain death with that sort of courage?

I'm not sure I could.

[Atticus]

2. I don't believe any of us know how we would act, but these folks knew about the other planes and

likely knew that was what their hijackers had in mind. They decided to die as heroes, not victims.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. I think you're right. They did know about the other planes.

And that was all they needed in order to act aggressively against these murderers.
