Your life or his life? Desperate times may call for desperate actions. Gives me pause to think. Could I? Would I? You?
Could I? Yes. Would I? Yes.
After 9/11 we all understand what the end result of a hijacking that attempts to take over the cockpit.
If I am going to die either way I will die fighting. I have never been able to understand how a person can passively wait to die or follow orders from a captor when the end result will be death.
I watch a good amount of shows on history. When ever I see the clip of a man running to the edge of a pit so a SS agent can shoot him it boggles my mind every time.
To me not fighting a hijacker after 9/11 is the same thing and I simply can not wrap my head around it.
