I guess at this point we pretty much know that the passengers really *did* try to take back flight 93, and it crashed hurting nobody on the ground because of that. What I *really* admire is their learning enough to make the paradigm shift through cell-phone calls, and doing it that quickly. Given an understanding of what was going on, trying to take the plane back is ethically *and* selfishly required -- no conflict. It still takes considerable courage to start the fight, of course.

I'm very ambivalent about seeing the movie because I pretty much expect it to be filled with Hollywood bull-shit and flag-waving and tear-jerking and political posturing in some position or another. Maybe it'll be much better than that; that would be a good thing.
