Not for the faint hearted
Last night I saw United 93 at the theatre. This is a very powerful movie that I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone. Especially to those who might be feeling a little less resolved about the need to eradicate Islamism as Sept. 11 fades farther from memory. The movie was made to resemble as closely as possible the events that took place on the actual flight. But the greatest impact of the movie is in showing how utterly unprepared governments, the Pengaton, NORAD and all other transportation and security-related agencies and bodies were for that day. It was a total failure of emergency preparedness. We truly were on a holiday from history after the end of the Cold War. Never again!
