although in no way conclusive, recent news on itv touched on a press conference in pa., which gave the general impression that military intervention had all but been ruled out.
there were other stories showing loved ones of those who died on board recounting the phonecalls they received from the aircraft, and while i cant recall if the one in particular i am thinking o f was concerning the pa. crash, the woman on screen said her husband told her that he and other passengers (and possibly crew, i cant recall)were going to take it into their own hands to do whatever they could to stop the terrorists achiveing their original objectives
in any case, heroism all round
