On the morning of September 11 dangerous men did gain access to a flight deck. As a result I watched from Brooklyn Heights Promenade one of the two planes hit twin Towers and watched them both fall. Very real scenario to NY'ers
I believe the point some here are making is that had the OP story happened a few months after 9/11 it would have been handled different.
