911

Wow, seven years since the terrorist attacks of 9-11. We all have our stories, we all remember where we were. We were lucky, we made it through. We had friends that had family members in the Pentagon that were killed, but we made it through.

I think often about what could have been. Imagine if the heroes of Flight 93 did not sacrifice themselves and let the terrorists fly the plane into the intended target - The Capitol. the morning of 9-11 Congress was in the Capitol. If a plane crashed into it we would have lost at least half of Congress, their administration staff, and numerous other lives. Not only would the terrorists have succeed in attacking the head of the financial district (The Twin Towers) the head of the US Military (the Pentagon) but the US Political system (the Capitol). This would have required emergency elections after the terrorist attacks and would have put America in a much different situation had flight 93 succeed.

If we had to elect a new congress before retaliating for the attacks of 9-11, our attacks would have more likely been more servere. Lets face it, half of Congress would not have bene present, many of them would have been injured, and they would be more vengeful then they already were.

We are very lucky for the heroes of Flight 93, they made the world much safer by their sacrifice.
