Good morning, Littlestream.
Yes, I get the A&E Channel as part of my satellite line-up.
There were several 'documentaries' made about Flight 93 in the
past, and I've watch a few of them.
The problem I have with 'dramatizations' is that a lot of it is
based on speculation and conjecture of what happened on that
flight. There were no survivors to provide first-hand accounts of
the events aboard the plane after it was hijacked, and logs of
cellphone calls made by various passengers and cabin crew, and even
the transcripts of the CVR are insufficient to paint a true picture
of the last moments of the flight. This gives the producers of
these 'documentaries' a free hand to exercise artistic license and
depict the events on the flight based on their own
interpretations.
It's well and good that most accounts of the tragic events on
Flight 93 paint the passengers and crew as heroes. It's better for
the rest of the world to view them as heroes who died while
struggling to regain control of the plane from the hijackers,
rather than be seen as helpless victims of a commercial airliner
that was shot down by a fighter in the confusion of that tragic
day.
