You are literally STUPID, man! You simply do not get this!

They simply acted too late for their own good.

The only correct thing you've said yet.

They did however most likely saved many lives on the ground as the plane was not able to reach its intended target. Your sarcasm and name calling only showcases your weak argument.

No, but it points out my utter contempt for your intelligence, which,as we can all see, is nothing but a rumor.

I fully understand what you and your beloved columnist wrote and to say that pre 9/11, out of the hundreds of millions of Americans, absolutely everyone would have stayed in their seats, is dead wrong.

Oh, REALLY? And what was the reaction aboard TWA 847 when a Navy diver got his throat cut, and bled to death in full view of the crew and the other passengers? And THEY were on the GROUND! Any other instances that spring to mind - pre-9/11, moron - of the mass of passnegers overwhelming the tiny band of hijackers? NO, there's NOT! Plenty of rescues by anti-terrorist forces, some negotiations, combinations of the two. But passngers spontaneously retaking the plane? Not ONCE, and so now here's Big Balls bonehead sayin' Ah, hell YEAH; I'd 'a' JUMPED 'em, man! GO TO HELL, you flake!

By and large that is what most of the people would have done, but not all.

Only AFTER the facts of the previous three flights were known, NOT BEFORE.

If that fact goes against your line of thinking then so be it.

Not my 'thinking', skid-mark; it's a FACT, so don't come in here with this macho shite about you acting to even to save your own life: until you knew what was going on, you're thought would've been the same as everybody else's: sitting still, cooperating, and waiting for professionals to solve this IS saving my own life! And up until 9/11, you'd have been RIGHT, too.

Finally, Unless you are God, and you are not, you really have no clue as to what a total stranger would have done in such a circumstance. The best you can do is play the odds.

I don't have to be God to look at historical events, and I know a total dumbass when I encounter one without any divine power.

So, what's up, dumbass?

Bluesman and Bonehead, dial it back and tone it down please.

The personal attacks are going to get this thread closed and nobody wants that, least of all me.

[Bluesman]

Alright.

I forget what I do that time.
