This is true. I would hope that the passengers on the other
planes, if they had known the kind of barbarians they were
dealing with, would have attacked thier captors as well. I
sure they felt they would be flown to some country and be
held hostage until they were released by diplomatic means.
I certainly hope to go down fighting when the curtain draws
on my life.

I have a few reasons for doubting any story being passed
on the internet right now. Although this could be true it
may also not be the total facts. I want to wait until things
are confirmed. An example of which is the story of the passengers
being allowed to call their families. There is no data to back
this up. And I'm sure there are going to be a thousand stories
about this tragedy hitting the airwaves soon enough. Some true,
some mistaken and some deliberately spread. Let's step back
from the emotions of the time and wait for things to sort out.
