Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Anyone that has not pictured themselves in Fl 93 after hearing of the experience isnt breathing. Im curious where all the $$$ proceeds from this film and its showing are going – Im sure no one would dare profit from such a tragic (yet heroic) story.

Im sure it will hit cable TV (USA or FX) within a few years. If its well-made it will be compelling and not need the big screen effects.

On heroism, I know if Im a victim and have knowledge of the “target” scenario I will take the plunge as well. The mind is a funny thing, one has to wonder whether you will take that plunge if you are unsure of your impending demise. (ie you are in plane #1 instead of a later plane).

But I will see it. At the very least I’m curious whether the portrayal is unflinching, or if it glosses over the role played by Allah.

The reason people need to see this movie is to learn what the passengers of Flight 93 learned on 9/11: if we are to die we have a choice, we can go like sheep, or we can go with a fight.

I for one am not flying into any “target” while I’m still breathing.
