When people remember 9/11, at least 90% of those memories focus on the World Trade Center, maybe 9% on the Pentagon, and barely 1% on Flight 93 that crashed in a field in rural Pennsylvania.
But of those 3 catastrophes, Flight 93 holds the most important lesson: FIGHTING BACK AND NEVER SURRENDERING!!!
In the long run, compromised peace will destroy far more than a rightous WAR.

All four planes and their consequence are of course important. NYC and WTC get most of the attention, given that NYC is the and was the media center. Not as many died at the Pentagon and the damage was not as spectacular and dramatic; and sometimes, the PA crash gets overlooked. I remember all 4 events very clearly.

There were many acts of bravery during those days on 9/11 and its aftermath.

Let's focus on Malta:

The Great Siege of Malta (Maltese: L-Assedju l-Kbir) occurred in 1565 when the Ottoman Empire attempted to conquer the island of Malta, then held by the Knights Hospitaller. The siege lasted nearly four months, from 18 May to 8 September 1565.

The Knights Hospitaller had been headquartered in Malta since 1530, after being driven out of Rhodes, also by the Ottomans, in 1522, following the siege of Rhodes. The Ottomans first attempted to take Malta in 1551 but failed. In 1565, Suleiman the Magnificent, the Ottoman Sultan, made a second attempt to take Malta. The Knights, who numbered around 500 together with approximately 6,000 footsoldiers, withstood the siege and repelled the invaders.

This victory became one of the most celebrated events of sixteenth-century Europe, to the point that Voltaire said: "Nothing is better known than the siege of Malta." It undoubtedly contributed to the eventual erosion of the European perception of Ottoman invincibility, although the Mediterranean continued to be contested between Christian coalitions and the Muslim Turks for many years.[6]

jus''', you totally missed the point, ...as usual.
The point is ALL FOUR PLANES could have ended like Flight 93, with only a faction of the death and destruction, or even possibly, NOT CRASHED AT ALL!
If the passengers has attacked the hijackers en masse, instead of just sitting there like scared sheep!

It's a little distasteful especially today, to suggest the victims aboard the three other planes were 'scared sheep', but to each their own.

I'd imagine it's pretty easy to write crap like this in between rounds of Call of Duty waiting for your mom to bring you more chicken tenders.

It's pretty distasteful to dismiss the heroism of Flight 93, but then it was only one plane out of four, and somebody like you would find it easier to coddle and appease the masses (and then call it democracy), ...while slopped up on overpiced rotten grape juice and trying to con people into buying Bitcrap, ...but then again..., just maybe..., Fortune really DOES favor the Brave.

No, Vot, you missed the point. Before 9/11, the MO was to allow the hijackers to take the plane to their desired location (usually Cuba) and the plane, passengers and crew were released to the USA. So that was how the first 3 flights were handled by crew and passengers. NO ONE had done ANYTHING like this before 9/11, intentionally flying aircraft into buildings to kill so MANY. Flight 93 passengers KNEW of the other 3 flights via cell phones. That flight also had (as I recall) only 4 hijackers and not 5, so was "undermanned" by the hijackers. The flight had time for passengers to 1) comprehend the situation ACCURATELY, 2) develop an attack Plan, and 3) execute an attempt to overwhelm hijackers, at least to cause a crash into the ground and not to its intended target.

The situation on 9/11 was organic and evolved over the 4 flights. President G.W. Bush did basically NOTHING on the first plane colliding into the WTC. He left the school on #2, BUT he was NOT allowed to land for a long time as the Government tried to decide what to do to this NEW situation. ALL this was a NEW Security threat. Learn your History, Vot, before you make such an incorrect assessment of what happened.

As usual, I got the FACTS right.

Regardless, the point is what Flight 93 did was RIGHT and CORRECT. The other flights' passengers were living in bubbles of fantasy and complacency. Maybe if even just one forward-thinking passenger was present to start a riot, the situation could have ended relatively much better.
If terrorists KNEW that everytime they tried to hijack a plane, the passengers would rise up like. a pack of rabid pit-bulls, they would never tr yit. That goes for crash-terrorists and transport-diversion-terrorists.

A moderated (or 'harm-reduction') response is often not sufficent to properly act as a deterent. Look at our nations current pitiful response to drug crime (fentanyl, reefer madness, etc.) or crime in general (out of control, especially Blue State property crime).

Vot, you fail to acknowledge:
1) The evolving nature of the situation, especially in that Flight 93 knew what happened a bit earlier at WTC in NYC and the Pentagon. They knew that they were likely to die, especially if they did nothing.
2) That you are wrong, or at the least, did not consider #1 above.

The damage, illness, and death to persons working at the site (Ground Zero) has been acknowledged and Congress has passed a bill (signed into law) to compensate those First Responders whose health was badly damaged by working at the site.

https://federalnewsnetwork.com/benefits/2024/09/after-a-long-wait-federal-benefits-for-more-9-11-first-responders/
Benefits
After a long wait, federal benefits for more 9/11 first responders

It’s taken a generation, but now federal benefits have become available for first responders harmed during the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. The money was authorized in last year’s National Defense Authorization bill.
