United 93


Leslie and I went to see "United 93" Saturday night. I have to say it was a very good movie. It detailed all of what went on on September 11, 2001. I wasn't there in the control rooms and air traffic control towers or on the airplanes that were hijacked but this movie was probably a pretty accurate reenactment of what went on as they were trying to contact the planes and after finding out they were hijacked. Some of the footage was actual footage from that day and it brought back some painful memories (I had just gotten out of the shower and getting ready for class at MSU when I saw the smoke pouring from the WTC on TV). The passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 were very brave and were willing to sacrifice their lives for others. I know no one is absolutely sure of what went on on that plane, but I am willing to bet that it was somewhat like this movie portrayed it. I recommend this movie to anyone, but don't take your kids. The language is a little rough at times and I'm not sure why you would want to take kids to see this movie anyway (There were quite a few kids in there Saturday). Go see it!

It's hard to believe that it has been almost five years since that fateful day.
