Hi Matt,

I thought you might be interested in the report below about the plane that crashed into the Pentagon. Apparently, the terrorists on that flight used only knives and cardboard cutters to gain control of the plane. Makes you wonder if even a few armed passengers might have changed the situation. I've heard similar reports about the one that crashed in Pennsylvania.

Except from Reuters report:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - One victim on the hijacked plane that smashed into the Pentagon (news - web sites) on Tuesday was Barbara Olson, who reportedly called her husband, Solicitor General Ted Olson, twice before it crashed, CNN reported.

Mrs. Olson, a commentator for the cable network, was killed, according to CNN. ``She called her husband twice during the hijacking to tell him the plane had been hijacked, and they lost contact once and she called back,'' CNN reported.

Mrs. Olson told her husband that all the passengers and the flight personnel, including the pilot, were herded to the back of the plane, according to the network. The only weapons she mentioned in a call to her husband were KNIVES AND CARDBOARD CUTTERS.
