A useless important thread

Well...previously most hijacked planes were hijacked for political or personal gains so people were told to just go along with it and generally shit got worked out. The only reason those people kicked some ass was because they had cell phones and they knew what had happened in NY and DC. They knew this wasn't the normal shit. They had the balls to force the plane down (although I'm sure that wasn't their first choice) with the knowledge that one way or another they'd probably be killed...but whether or not they'd crash into a building or into a deserted field was up to them. It wasn't a matter of inaction...it was a matter of playing the odds.

And yes...F16s are quite manueverable...but a 767 is huge. There's a fine line between escorting it and becoming a victim of it.
