Portrait of Courage: Flight 93 | FULL DOCUMENTARY

[@bison1203]

What is truly remarkable about these people is that they didn’t just act to save themselves. While we know that they prevented the plane from hitting DC, we also know that they waited to attack until they were over a rural area, saving lives below them in case they failed. They were thinking of others who they never met in a circumstance of ultimate duress. That is courage and heroism that you just do not expect to see from a group of strangers. Words cannot express how much I admire them.

​@handsome-brute2666 the people on that flight knew what was happening and they decided to take action. They said goodbye to their loved ones and they fought back knowing they would perish. Their communication with their loved ones is what helped people on the ground know exactly what was happening. Even IF they were shot down before they grounded the plane, they took action .😢

@@mistifeyed It's not odd at all... The story of flight 93 tends to focus on the men storming the cockpit. Most people aren't even aware that the flight attendants were also forming their own plan to try and help. I guarantee that if you ask people, most won't know about the flight attendants boiling water. Stop trying to find issues where there aren't any. You've completely taken the comment out of context.

It is odd. If one doesn’t know this fact they probably don’t know the story of the flight at all. I’ve never seen a flight 93 story told or a docu or anything but that doesn’t tell the full story including the FA’s role. It’s not like they’re being written out. I knew of the boiling water

For those of us who were alive to witness it, it'll always feel like yesterday. My Grandfather still had nightmares of Pearl Harbor, and then later on, when he was deployed to the Atlantic Theater and saw the Camps. The Camps, however, were one of the things he never talked about fully; all he would say was how inhumane it was and how he could still smell it to this day. For me, 9/11 is not something I'll ever forget since I lost a classmate to the towers (visiting family in NYC, grandfather worked in the towers and was able to get him onto the roof so he could see the view, I can only imagine what he was thinking when those planes hit, the only two things they found from him was his backpack and camera) and nearly lost my older brother at the Pentagon

After hearing this story I think they actually were hand picked by a higher power. The story of the day may have been to go home and eat dinner, in their minds, but I believe they knew in some part of themselves that there was a much bigger assignment. If that plane had hit the white house, the stakes were much bigger than some governmental chaos. Not only would it have emboldened every terrorist organization, but the repercussions from our military would have been truly heinous. The repercussions as it were changed the face of the world. It however was child's play compared to what would have occurred had they hit the white house. And it would not have been only the guilty caught in the crossfire.

It makes me so sad that the wife of Capt. Dahl seems to feel like she has to make it clear that her husband was alive and participating throughout. Saying that the coroner didn’t see any difference in coagulation between Capt. Dahl and everyone else. Those people were in bits. They hit the ground at over 500 miles per hour. If he was killed early it doesn’t make him any less valuable on the flight and even if he was killed right away it doesn’t diminish him in any way whatsoever.

Like many Americans, I will never forget where I was on that Tuesday. I was a junior in college and I had gone to class that morning a very early 8:00 AM CST class. Back then televisions still we’re on carts and rolled in and out of classrooms in lecture halls. My professor secured a TV and brought it in. I was in a larger lecture hall that morning as a nursing major all of my other classes were small, but I was double majoring and this was one of the few classes I had left for that degree. And since it was the beginning of the semester, I didn’t know many students in that class whereas my nursing classes I knew everyone. But people were hugging and crying and encouraging one another like we were lifelong best friends. At first other students from other lecture halls since TV’s were limited, piled in and it was standing room only but eventually professors told us we could go home if we wanted to. I remember being scared and wanting to go all the way home to where my parents were but instead I went back to my house with my roommates and we stayed glued to the television all day. Even on that horrible Tuesday before we had all the details about flight 93 I knew they were a ray of sunshine in this horrible tragedy. They were just amazing American heroes. Definitely the first warriors of the war on terror. Even as 20+ years has passed my heart thoughts and prayers go out to all the families affected by 911 there were so many heroes that day, So many people that thought about others before they thought about themselves. 🙏🏻 🇺🇸 ❤

These people were incredible heroes.

[@epaddon]

This documentary dates to 2005 before the transcript of the CVR was released. I'm inclined to believe the cockpit was breached and then Jarrah crashed the plane during the struggle. So it was heroic in that it stopped them from reaching their target, though I don't believe they had reached the point of getting control of the plane with any chance of trying to save it themselves. That doesn't lessen what they did in the slightest (full disclosure-Todd Beamer was in the same college class I was in, and my parents knew Donald and Jean Peterson from their church).

[@christiansotelo55]

Air traffic control did say at the very last second the transponder came back on right before the plane crashed in Shanksville.

[@floridamarinemom1749]

You could be right but my impression of the CVR transcript is that they possibly temporarily got possession of the controls for possibly 8 seconds but one of the hijackers was able to get the controls back. I think the transcripts leave it open to the possibility that one of the passengers was in a struggle for the retention of the controls right up until 3 seconds before impact. I agree that I don't think they ever had a real chance of saving themselves. The transcript indicates that the hijacker that was in the cockpit planned to end it if threatened by the passengers. I believe that he had already turned the plane in a deadly descent that most likely the passengers wouldn't have been able to save it from if they had taken control if they had breached the cockpit even sooner. None of that matters in the long run. They knew that it was risky to try but they tried anyways. Of course, they wanted to live, that's human instinct but I believe that they all were aware of the real likelihood of them not succeeding but even if they didn't that they would prevent the hijackers from hitting their target. Whatever they though, was able to accomplish as far as attempting to take back the plane, the fact they attempted and was able to breech the cockpit shows the bravery they showed in the face of extreme danger. Regardless of whether their main goal was to save themselves or to stop the hijackers planned attack, they succeeded in saving numerous lives on the ground and for that they will always be heroes.

I think the narrator's questions is a way to keep viewers engaged, something I've noticed in documentaries for years.

The one family member is going out of his way to NOT call them heroes... idk why??? He said there was no special reason for what they did.. no deeper meaning,nothing more nothing less. Not thinking about saving others. Just coming home( paraphrase) ,but if you listen to the 911 operators and the family convos, they knew that the plane would crash in Washington DC, most likely. They talked about a great chance of them dying but they were not going to let the terrorists kill ppl and use their plane as the weapon over DC. I for one,am very proud to call them my fellow Americans, every single one is a hero. ❤❤ #NeverForget

His perspective removes the hijackers from the equation. When he thinks about his lost loved one, he thinks about how much they wanted to come home, and how they never stopped trying. It lets him think about them without giving the hijackers any space

You seem to have an issue with generalizing from the TERRORISTS to "these kind" of people. How far does your generalization go? To the terrorists' brothers? To their wives? To all Muslims? To all Muslim children? It's that sort of nebulous "this kind" -ing that led to the attacks in the first place. Animals are better because they DON'T categorize and then generalize from there.

[@PaulConover-r9r]

Wait.. not trying to be disrespectful, but trying to understand. At 14:50 she states that the coroner said he believed the pilots were alive at the time of the crash based on their blood coagulation. That means the coroner would have had to been able to do some type of assessment of at least part of their bodies. But every official report I've seen or heard says that there were only small fragments of unidentifiable body parts mixed in with the wreckage. Did i miss something? Im not trying to support conspiracy, but the more i research, the more certain things dont add up.

I am not surprised that passengers all volunteered whatever strengths or talents or knowledge they possessed and forged a monster to take on the evil that had entered the cockpit that day. Every one of them fought to the death, knowing that they could not stop what was happening but they could fight fiercely to minimize the catastrophic outcome.
