For what it's worth, I think the story is true.
Totally true.
What would you do if you were on the plane, seeing dead crew, knowing of the other three planes - you are dead anyway, why not have your death have meaning. I hope that I would have done the same thing, to give one's death meaning rather than go like a lamb to be slaughtered.
In the chaos of that morning there is no way some sort of elaborate make believe story could have happened, nor the elaborate planning of how to shoot down a plane at the exact right place in a vacant field as some of suggested - it just happened, it was just one of those things.
And as for "let's roll" - that was the usual phrase of one of the four guys who led the charge - wonder what I would have said. Let's do it, let's go, alright now, something -I might have even said, "here we go White ox" which is a phrase I have been known to utter when confronting a challenge.
this story rings very true to me in every way. And on that morning I think America would have welcomed a decisive action, there would be no reason cover up the intentional sooitng down of a 4th plane given what the other 3 had already done. Prior information was that Cheney did not give the shoot down order for aircraft in general until 93 had already crashed. I think a point of what we have learned so far is how unprepared we were for something like this.
I think the crew and passengers on 93 were heroes, they wanted meaning to their deaths, and they gave it. I think it went down just as we have head.
That is just my opinion, my gut instinct. What would you have done if you were on that plane knowing what they did? I like to think that I, and all of us, would have decided to go down fighting - they were the only passengers on any of the 4 flights that morning who knew what their fate was otherwise, and they gave meaning to their deaths.
