P.S. Todd Beamer's experience on 9/11 became the basis for a movie called United 93. Have any of you seen it? This photo is taken from the movie, so it's not an actual photo of Todd Beamer. I'm planning on watching United 93 on Saturday; I'll let you know what it's like.

ReplyDelete* I think that if Tood Beamer didn't do what he did that day and call the GTE supervisor we wouldn't have know what was happening in the plane,who was there , how many hijackers where in the plane, and if there was a bomb. what we still don't know is if bye jumping on the hijacker that was wearing the bomb how did he make the plane go tours another direction.
* I think that if the other passengers on the plane wouldn't have cooperate with Todd Beamer the plane might not have change direction and might have crash in Washington, D.C., or possibly the capital or the White house ,but no one is really know what he and the other were able to do.
* i think that Todd Beamer's experiences in life lead him to do what he did on 9/11 because he knew that he had the power to convince the other to help him jump on the hijacker wearing the bomb
Todd Beamer is a hero to many people around America . He saved many innocent of lives . If Todd Beamer would have never attacked the Hijackers of the plane on 9/11 the pentagon would have been hit . Todd Beamer was a Brave man for standing up and taking action when no one else did. He took control of the situation and landed the plane in a field where no people were around . He saved many peoples lives that day . There for i Believe if Todd Beamer would have never took action many people in the pentagon would have died . he Saved Hundreds of lives .
