United 93 is a sad, but inspiring film. It was almost unbearable to watch because of the depressing and brutal nature of what happened not only on that plane, but that morning in the United States. Theres nothing that makes me feel more uneasy than flying. Planes have always frightened me and this film just made my fear that much worse. The brave men and women who fought back that day should all be considered heros. It takes something deep down psychologically to be able to do what they did that morning. I can not imagine any situation that could be worse than knowing you were doomed to die on that plane. It hurts to even think about what may have been going through their minds. I am inspired by the will to save others in such a desperate situation. They knew they were going to die regardless of what they did, but they still fought back anyways. This is true perseverance, bravery, and compassion for human life. I probably will not watch this film again for a long time considering the mood it put me in after viewing it each morning. It honestly changes my perspective on human life and what the dangers that everyday life present. It was a routine day and a routine flight. No one expected to die the way they did that morning. This story makes me appreciate living and come to the reality that no one is really safe anymore, whether it is watching a movie in a theater or traveling on a plane. I really hope an event like this never happens again and that the people who lost their lives that day will always be remembered. The individuals on that plane deserve recognition for their actions and should be remembered for their bravery.
We should never forget the lives lost that day and the idea that in our modern society, danger is present almost everywhere. There has never been a more devastating tragedy in the history of the United States. September 11 reminds us that attacks can happen on American soil. Every year we remember the lives lost that day and appreciate our nation and life just a little bit more.
