I know the way that I feel about this. If i were on a plane that was hijacked I know now that I would much rather die trying to live than I would die without trying. Anyone and everyone that is in that situation should stand up and take back thier own rights. I am sure that a plane load of people can over power hijackers. they base thier take over on the fact that people are more concerned with thier own life. DONT BE! If you are on a plane and in that situation you might as well consider yourself dead already. Stand against them. As I said Id much rather die trying to live!

A friend of mines said the exact same thing. He also added the notion that if the wrong black brothas or sistas had been on that plane that our sense of "we ain't havin THIS shit" would have kicked in and even though you good as dead, the fight to TRY to save your life and any possible lives on ground would have been well worth all efforts.

I agree that we all should have this attitude. Fools shouldn't have never had the chance to get near the cock pit...I wonder why of all those folks, if over powered 3 or even 4 hijackers to (let's say) 75 passengers plus stewardess...the question will always remain...did ANYONE do anything EXCEPT call their cell phones? Didn't someone get mad enough to make an attempt to knock one of these guys the fuck out?

Perhaps this comes from American people not having a TRUE and TOTAL sense of survival of some sort?

What do you all think?

Have we run out of things to talk about in this tragedy? They are all dead! the ones that crashed in PA did fight, but I heard that even on the one that hit second on the towers, the people were fighting. This sounds awful close to blaming the victims, doesnt it? Reports that the hijackers STARTED by slitting some of the stewardesses' throats... of all the Monday morning quarterbacking we can do, it has nothing to do with whether black folks are there or not...let's just grieve for everyone. You can never say what you would do in extraordinary circumstances like this.

Andre.....

ain't no one blaming the victims.

so...if no one can ever say what they would do....in a situation like this...

then......

why do any of us do any preparation at all to protect or get ready for ANYTHING of a tragic nature?

no...we have not run out of things to talk about. but realize, that, the conversations in the world around us are not limited to the grief that we all feel and are suffering from.

i thank you for your comment.
