You know, wouldn't it be interesting to read someone's first-hand account of a real hijacking, what they were thinking, talking about, why nobody tried thwarting it, what the pilots did?

I'm just thinking that everyone here is speculating about what they or others WOULD do "next time," (God forbid), but that's so easy to do. What did people do when they were REALLY in that situation? That would give us some credible insight into the actual process and how to address the threat and risk, and how concerned flyers can prepare for any situation.

I even know people who have taken flight training, "just in case."
