Post A solemn salute

I salute those passengers of the Pittsburgh flight, whose bravery and guts saved the lives of hundreds of others on the ground.

The on-board battle must have been horrific with many being killed by the terrorists as passengers attempted to wrest conrtrol of the aircraft from them. I can only speculate that the passengers were successful in there endevor but were unable to control the aircraft after that, and did there best to steer the aircraft into a vacant area rather than a populated one.

Ive never saluted anyone in my life. But to these courageous individuals, from the heart, I do.

I hope their actions will never be forgotten.

Rest In Peace.

Courage is not defined by Fearlessness. Fearlessness is not Courage. Courage is defined by those brave souls who are terrified, afraid, yet go into battle regardless.
