It was day America was terrorized; but it was also the day America fought back

Rating: 9/10 (14 July 2007)

Of course, I had witnessed the second plane--the infamous United flight 175 crashing into the second tower of the World Trade Center. That particular event brought the United States to its knees in the hands of Al-Qaeda terrorism. That of course, happened on September 11, 2001. Of course, that plane was hijacked, as well as American flight 11, which crashed into the first World Trade Center before United 175 suffered the same fate.
Then, soon afterwards, United 93 was hijacked and was doomed to crash into an important financial or military building in the United States. Most likely the hijackers aimed it at the Capitol or perhaps the White House, as I could see in the dramatization of the day America fought back against anti-American terrorism in "United 93".
Before the flick, a famous passenger called out the famous code signal "Let's roll!" Well, the famous two-word phrase was toned down just before the time the passengers and crew fought back.
What I also liked, in addition to the dramatic attempt to overpower the hijackers and take over the plane, was the events leading up to the United 93 hijacking. You see the air traffic control employees in Newark seeing one of those hijacked planes---United 175----right before their eyes---crash right into the World Trade Center. Upon impact, the controllers were frozen dead in great shock and awe.
I also like the actor Ben Smiley, who played himself as the guy who, after the devastating turn of events that include a suicide plane crashing into the Pentagon, ordered the famous nationwide ground stop on all departures and eventually, forcing all U.S. civilian planes not part of the four doomed planes to land immediately. I felt so sad for all of those planes that had to land at airports and stay there indefinitely.
Of course, I was saying to myself, "Why can a terrorist infiltrate a cockpit and force the plane to go down to crash?" A pilot, who was one of the passengers during the time the passengers fought back, was pushed with some help into the cockpit to fight off the terrorists who were piloting the plane. He knew it was not going to be easy. These bad guys were hardened terrorists who were willing to die to make their point.
Regrettably, everyone died on flight 93 as it hit the ground at Shanksville. I don't know how far Shanksville was to Washington D.C., but at least, something good came out of what was the most terrible day ever in America.
