Flight 93 on A&E now
« on: January 30, 2006, 08:29:46 PM »
Hi Guys,

Just to give you a heads-up that A&E is currently showing a TV-Movie about the Hijacking of flight 93. Started @ 9:00 PM. Pretty good so far...

Good enough to already get me to recall the anger and frustration I felt that day.

No one else cares, I guess, Seagoon.

Of course, from reading some people on these boards, I can't say I'm suprised.

If they had managed to take back control of the plane what would they have done then?:confused:

Pity Lasersailor, it was well done, especially for a TV Movie. Also, unlike Spielburg's recent abomination, it had the good taste to remember who the bad guys and the good were. It's a pity we haven't had more movies of this kind made in the last 5 years, it might do wonders for American resolve.

As to elements in the movie, there was only one issue I was wondering about - they had the Jihadis put on red headbands prior to taking the aircraft. For Al-Qaeda, both the green (the color of Islam) and red headbands have been used by those taking part in Martyrdom operations. It is called the headband of death (asbat al-mawt) It comes from Abu Dujana was one of the Prophet Muhammad's Jihadis. Abu Dujana's trademark was a red headband known as the "headband of death", which he wound around his helmet before going into battle. For more on Abu Dujana: http://www.mubai.cc/articles/art41.htm

Anyway, I was wondering if the passengers had reported that they were wearing red headbands or if that was speculation on the part of the producers. Anyone know?

They clearly wanted to stop the plane from being used to ram another major American building (hence waiting till it was over rural territory before trying to take it back). Tom Burnett was a licensed single engine pilot, its conceivable they might have been able to talk him through a landing. I think they probably knew their chances of taking the plane without the Jihadis blowing it up or crashing it were slim to none, but that it was the right thing to do regardless.

Yes,Maybe he might have been able to land that 757 but remember that was no Hollywood movie.

Jeremy Glick calls his wife, Lyz, from Flight 93. He describes the hijackers as Middle Eastern- and Iranian-looking. According to Glick, three of them put on red headbands, stood up, yelled, and ran into the cockpit. He had been sitting in the front of the coach section, but he was then sent to the back with most of the passengers. Glick says the hijackers claimed to have a bomb, which looked like a box with something red around it. Family members immediately call emergency 9-1-1 on another line. New York State Police are patched in midway through the call. Glick finds out about the WTC towers. Two others onboard also learn about the WTC at about this time. Glick's phone remains connected until the very end of the flight. [Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 10/28/01 (B); MSNBC, 7/30/02; Toronto Sun, 9/16/01; Longman, 2002, pp 143]

I didnt watch it because it would piss me off and raise my blood pressure.

Sandman the Spielberg abomination was Munich, where he tries to raise the terrorists to be on a level with the good guys.

But in everything WW2 related he makes he always has one gleeful scene where surrendering Germans are shot.:huh

Hell being known as the guy who sent a few pigs squealing to hell and smeared a 757 across the runway after flying almost to a successful landing is a heck of an epitaph
