September 30Sep 30 I'm not a pilot, but if this is true what a miracle all around. Co-pilot being stabbed with a hatchet, crawling to open the door, the people who fought back and the fact there were two other pilots were able to take over. Amazing

He also set the transponder to the hijacked frequency.I was thinking the other day how pilots have to be built differently. They accept and embrace that at any given moment their job is to give up their lives to try and save the people on their aircraft and they will do anything necessary. He was losing blood, fighting off shock, injured/incapacitated and kept it together. Astounding.

I mean come the f on......Have you ever heard anyone refer to what happened on Flight 93 on 9/11 as "there was an altercation during the flight"?????

My agenda here has been pox on both houses from the start.

September 30Sep 30 Damned if you do and damned if you don't in reporting, I think you guys might be jumping the shark a bit. First reporting is allowed to be cautious in its wording until the facts come out.

Seems like this goes beyond "exercising caution"Also, sure let's say we don't want to assume it's a terrorist attack until more facts come out about the suspect and his motives. Ok, well 1 pilot stabbing the other pilot and then trying to crash the plane is still NOT an example of "an altercation happening on the flight". And it's also very safe to say this was a "possible terrorist attack" at this point in time.

Chew away. hell, even Diehard slunk from the shadows.
