I watched Flight 93 on the night that it first aired, and I must say that it got me all fired up once more. I think that it's wonderful that A&E decided to run this original movie, just to remind the people of this great nation once more of the tragedy of that horrible day. Lots of people have forgotten about all of the innocent lives that were taken on that day. All of the people on the planes that struck the WTC,and the Pentagon, as well as the people that died and were injured in these buildings never had any idea that they were about to die,thus making them innocent victims of what took place. On the other hand, the passengers aboard Flight 93, all knew what had taken place with the other doomed flights. This knowlage put them in the position of being able to do something about their plight. There is no way of knowing how many more lives they saved by their efforts on that day, so to me, they are all heros, and I will never, ever forget what they did. I'm sure that God holds a very special place in Heaven for just such people, and I hope that their families are very proud of them. I'm sure they are. May God bless each and every one of them.

When I first heard that A&E had made a movie about Flight 93 I thought it was a tasteless attempt to capitalize on one of the greatest tragedies in our country's history. After watching the film I must say that I was suprised with the tact used by A&E. Of course, there is no way to know what conversations actually took place on that day, aside from the phone calls made, but I think that what was shown was the courage of the average Americans who were on that plane. The courage of ordinary people who knew that they were leaving their families behind and who made that choice because they believed in what America stands for.
Without a doubt A&E used dramatic license to make this film, but there is no arguing with the fact that it portrays true American patriots laying down their lives for the good of our great country. There is nothing more dramatic than that.
