It was until the folks on a given plane had feedback that there was an effort to hijack planes in an organized way that they got together and did _something_ to retaliate. The loss of life is deplorable but the actions of a few seems to have thwarted, at least partly, the terror of others. I'll be trying to , not get back to normal, but get on with life as my part in the effort to thwart the attacks' effects. TBerk
