United 93

I made a big mistake by deciding to "sneak preview" this movie at 3:00 am on a saturday night. I ended up not only watching it completely, but spending another 3 hours surfing the internet on follow-ups.

Assuming that the movie captures the "reality" of what happened, I came across a few things that are really don't quite fit!"

1. Professional American ATC, NEADS and Defence officials are shown in a state of panic: This
is the one of the most difficult to digest aspect of the movie. See its' about culture, a way of life. Americans came up with an MBA degree (formalizing management education), they have schools/colleges imparting the highest standards of education, corporates practising the best form of strategies and citizens who are rightfully proud of their nation. So what would explain the serious delay in "Action" while UA93 was going haywire all over the radar screen.

2. Commercial flights fly with a difference of 1000 feet on air-corridors, and UA93 was all but following it. UA93 was airborne for atleast another 35 minutes, after the hijack started.

3. A F16 flying full speed could have reached the airplane, that it didnt, is another matter...

My sincere well-wishes to the victims' families. My love and regards to all affected directly and in-directly by this tragedy.

Let's build a world upon Forgiveness & Tolerance.
