Gay Hero: New details of Mark Bingham's battle With 9-11 Terrorists
Edited on Mon Jul-26-04 01:21 PM by Cannikin
(Washington) The 9-11 Commission's report details new information about the final minutes of United Flight 93, the flight on which gay businessman Mark Bingham and other passengers prevented the plane from being used by terrorists as a weapon on Washington.

Among other things the report answers the question was it the passengers or the terrorists who put the plane into that put the pane into a nose dive that sent it crashing into a Pennsylvania field that fateful day.

The report shows that the passengers began their attempt to retake control of the plane at 9:57 a.m., nearly 30 minutes after the four terrorists aboard commandeered the Boeing 757.

At 6-foot-5 Bingham was formidable. The owner of his own public-relations firm Bingham played rugby for the San Francisco Fog, a gay team where he earned a reputation for being an aggressive player. He had run with the bulls in Spain and business associates and friends call him a natural born leader.

3. But Falwell Told Me The Reason 9/11 Happened Was Cuz of Gays Like Him
And Feminists and Abortionists and stuff, too.

Now if a lesbian pro-choice feminist attacked those hijackers, I wonder if Jerry's head would explode.

4. Interesting
While Bingham died fighting for his life, the lives of his fellow passengers and countless lives on the ground, Rick Santorum gets up in the Senate and compares him to a dog.
