The Flight 93 Option

On September 11, 2001, four planes were hijacked.  Two were crashed into the World Trade Center towers in New York City, killing thousands of people and ultimately causing their collapse. One was flown in the Pentagon, with hundreds of casualties there. One plane, Flight 93, crashed into a field in Pennsylvania, killing all aboard, but no one on the ground.  The passengers, having learned what happened to the other three planes, made a decision that it would be better to die taking Flight 93 down in an unpopulated area than to allow it to be crashed into whatever target had been chosen on the ground.  They gave their lives to keep others alive. They are heroes. Nineteen years later. We are being held hostage on an aging and defective airplane. An airplane remotely piloted by a sociopathic homicidal maniac. The cockpit is protected by his sociopathic suicidal followers, who are all at least as insane and delusional as their leader.  We are on a collision course with the rest of the plan
