When Ordinary People Become Extraordinary Heroes

United 93 - The filmmakers got it right, By David Beamer - Todd Beamer's Father, Wall Street Journal

"Paul Greengrass and Universal set out to tell the story of United Flight 93 on that terrible day in our nation's history. They set about the task of telling this story with a genuine intent to get it right--the actions of those on board and honor their memory. Their extensive research included reaching out to all the families who had lost loved ones on United Flight 93 as the first casualties of this war. And Paul and his team got it right."

Editor's note: So much for the notion that ordinary people cannot become spontaneous heroes - and fight for things they believe to be more important than their own lives.
