Heros who deserve MUCH more then a snippet...
As found on MSNBC...
"Meanwhile, sometime around 10 a.m., United Flight 93, headed to San Francisco from Newark, N.J., crashed into a field about 80 miles from Pittsburgh.
An emergency dispatcher in Westmoreland County, Pa., received a cell phone call at 9:58 a.m. from a man who said he was a passenger locked in the airplane’s bathroom, said dispatch supervisor Glenn Cramer.
"We are being hijacked. We are being hijacked!" Cramer quoted the man as saying. "He heard some sort of explosion and saw white smoke coming from the plane, and we lost contact with him."
Officials originally presumed the hijackers were trying to crash the jet into Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland. But Attorney General John Ashcroft later told members of Congress that the plane was believed to have been turning toward Washington.
The Miami Herald reported Wednesday that a passenger on Flight 93, Tom Burnett, called his wife and indicated that he and other passengers were about to try to overpower the hijackers.
Burnett told his wife that somebody on the plane had been stabbed, said the Rev. Frank Colacicco, of St. Isidore’s Church in Danville, Fla. "We’re all gonna die, but three of us are going to do something," Burnett told his wife, according to Colacicco. He added: "I love you, honey," before the call ended. "
How many lives did Burnett and others save by sacrificing their own? These people should be recognized!
