Flight 93 airs tonight (jan 30th) at 9:00est. It looks like A&E has done a good job honoring real Heroes!http://www.aetv.com/flight_93/f93_preview.jsp

Darn.... I kind of wish I didn't know it was tonight. It's going to be hard for us Washingtonians to watch, but it's kind of required viewing, isn't it?

I can't imagine how difficult it would be for airline employees or, my gosh, the families!

looks like it will be airing all week, same time.
i agree--i may need to pop a sedative before watching...

Even though it will bring back all the bad memories, I plan to watch tonight. May God bless all the survivors..

So the crew gets an ACARS message about the earlier hijaking and the pilots still openned the cockpit door without looking. Doesnt sound right! A&E needs to get its facts straight. Its more likely they rushed the cockpit during meal delivery or simply broke in thru the flimsy door.

God Bless the crew and passengers.

This is an important story, but I wish we didn't have to relive it on TV all the time. I relive it in my mind every day and living near Washington is a constant reminder of the pain and suffering that everyone experienced that day.

I will never forget, but I wish we didn't have to think about it every day. The lessons we learned were taken to heart, but I wish we could do something to ease the pain and reliving it constantly doesn't help.

It's hard to deal with, but certainly not as hard as the families.

Still a terrible tragedy.

Let me preface this comment by saying that the last thing I want to ever do is disparage the memories of all those who perished on that horrible day. But, the simple fact remains that we will NEVER know exactly what took place on Flight 93. All we know is what the Bush Administration told us happened. Evidence to back up this version of events has never been released to the public, despite repeated FOIA requests. Therefore, it's hard for me to envision any motion picture, book, or made-for-tv movie accurately describing the events that unfolded on this flight.

the movie based on the same name is coming out in movie theaters worlwide on April 28. That one should be better than the one on A&E.

I feel if the flight crew had been armed this would never have happened.

I know its hard when you live in a place like Washington and there are the constant reminders of that terrible day. As long as there are terrorists we need to think about that day to try to prevent another. I live in the southwest and grew up in a suburb of NYC. My husband and I both lost schoolmates in the towers and fortunately had family members that survived. As I said, I currently live in the Southwest and 9/11 does not have the same impact. The reminders are not here. Hardly anyone had ever been in the towers or knew someone who was directly impacted. Unfortunately, its like the Holocaust, we must never forget. I agree that the families of all involved are the ones that suffered the most. Peace to you, my friend.

I fully believe that having an armed flight crew would NOT have changed the outcome on September 11th. On September 12th, probably, but not the 11th.

All the rules changed that day regarding how to deal with hijackers. I am confident the crew handled the event 100% in accordance with the then-current protocol: comply with demands.
