I watched '911-The plane that fought back' in discovery channel a few days before 11st sept. This is my 2nd or 3rd time watching, but it still broke my heart every time I watched. The many lives that were lost in flight 93 and even more lives lost in the 911 incident. Lives are lost, but what left behind are the broken hearts of their family members, closed friends. 6 years has passed, I think they will be still wondering, why this would happen to their husbands, wives, children, best friends.



'911-The plane that fought back' reconstructs the event of flight 93, at the crucial time from the terrorists taking control of the flight to the crush. Much of what happened on the plane were reconstructed from the ]phone calls made by passengers and crew. The plane's intended target was Washington DC, probably the White House or United States Capitol Building, but the passengers in the plane fought back, causing the pilot to early crush the plane to an empty area.



What is the motivation that wants them to fight back? It may be the last resort they can do, or it is just a gimpse of hope they see. Some motivation may be small, like just wanting to go home to eat dinner with their loving children. They are indeed heros to us, if not of their bravery, many more lives would be lost.



During the flight, many passengers phoned their loved ones, to say their last words. Their loved ones narrated their conversations in the show. "I love you, dear. Tell our children that I love them lots." "Everyone is alright here. Just wanna tell you I love you so much. Take good care of the family." Some sounded so calm, but deep down their hearts their feelings must be undescribable. What would you do, think and say when you know you will die in a few moments time? I will be terrified! Some remained silent, some cried, some tried to remain calm, some prayed together. And there are some who stepped out and wanted to do something about this. These are the people who influenced the passengers to fight back. Although there is no evidence, it was believed that the pilot(the terrorist) was threatened and aimed the plane down for a crush.



The loved ones of the passengers were devastated, it will be a scar that will remain in my lives forever. To say 'it is well within my soul' is difficult, I do not experience such big trauma as theirs, but I feel that knowing God still cares comforts me a lot. God bless them lots :)
