22. Why?
Why do we need to know? There are some people who so avowedly hate Americans that no scrap of evidence that this was a heroic
act will be enough for them, any more than Bush's starry-eyed moronic masses will believe anything against him. It doesn't matter how much DC capitalizes on what happened -- the important thing is those people died horribly. They didn't die fictionally, they didn't die on a movie screen. They were flying one moment, knowing they were going to crash into something, knowing they were helpless to stop it
and instead of dying meekly like victims, a group of people DID try to take action. That plane then turned over and went spiraling into the ground at a terrific rate of speed until it crashed. Can you imagine the terror those people went through?

It's hardly surprising or uniquely American - it's what humans would do. It's not terribly difficult to accept in any other situation.
Even so, to hell with the "truth" about "93" -- all we'll get is more distortions of things we can never know. September 11th alone is enough to upend the Bush monsters.

Leave the memory of these people to be what their loved ones must think them to be.
