Common sense tells you...if a plane is going to be hijacked in mid air, you're not going to land safely. You're going to crash. There isn't going to be some safe landing where the terrorists land and say "Thanks for cooperation, you all can get off the plane now, sorry for the inconvenience." Those people are willing to die no matter what.
So if you're going to die, why not fight? Why didn't the 70 or so people on that flight immediately jump on these ****ers and take them out? Becuase they were armed w/ box cutters?  Even if they were strapped w/ fake plastic explosives it's either die....or die fighting your ass off. |
This is post-9/11 common sense. Prior to 9/11, mid-air hijackings usually ended with most passengers being released unharmed.

Obamacare’s fix for an American health care system that the federal government long ago broke, is to give the federal government far more power over American health care; that its solution to escalating health costs is to mandate greater health benefits (and, hence, higher costs); and that its solution to the pricey overreliance on pre-paid health plans — offered by insurance companies in lieu of real insurance — is to have the government require Americans to buy those pre-paid health plans under penalty of law.
