Fwd: More on Pennsylvania plane crash

--
This is an inspiring story out of the day of tragedy.

It it is true that airport security worked well enough to prevent hijeackers
from boarding with guns, then I hope there is discussion about whether these
passengers made the best decision, even if the story turns out not to be
substantiated, so that future passengers can learn from this depiction.

Obviously, I don't know that this is authentic, but thought I'd pass it on
anyway.

Message Follows:

Today was a tragedy for all of America and to my family, a very
personal one. Lynn and my Niece Liz's husband, Jeremy Glick was on United
flight 93
this morning. When the Hijackers took control of flight 93. Jeremy called
my niece who in-turn conferenced him to 911. Jeremy relayed to the police
what
was happening as the hijacking unfolded. As our niece Liz listened, Jeremy
told the police there were three Arab terrorists with knives and a large red
box that they claimed contained a bomb. Jeremy tracked the second by second
details and relayed them to the police by phone. After several minutes of
describing the scene, Jeremy and several other passengers decided there was
nothing
to lose by rushing the hijackers. Although United Flight 93 crashed outside
of
Pittsburgh, with the loss of all souls. Jeremy and the other patriotic
heroes
saved the lives of many people on the ground that would have died if the
Arab
terrorists had been able to complete their heinous mission.

Please offer your prayers for all of those who perished or were injured in
this tragic of all days and to our niece Liz Glick and her 2-month-old
child, Emerson, who are left without their loving Husband and Father.

May we remember Jeremy and the other brave souls as heroes, soldiers
and Americans' on United flight 93 whom so gallantry gave their lives to
save many others.

Lynn, our four adult children and I are headed to New York to be with our
family during this time of great sadness

All of my best,

Tom
