I reread this every year.
I cry like a baby every year.
Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.
Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.
Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?
Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.
Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.
Lisa: Are you okay?
Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.
Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?
Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.
Lisa: I promise.
Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.
Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)
Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.
Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.
Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.
Lisa: What are you going to do?
Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.
Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.
@SFJET147 Pretty sweet extra entertainment at a HS football game! Also got to see a p38, p51, and f4u all in succession (along with a mig17 and a whole bunch of other goodies)

“It’s like having the most expensive brand new car. They’re fast, explosive and powerful. It makes my job easier in just allowing me just to sit back a little bit and enjoy it.”
🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨
The entire crew of the USS George H.W. Bush have reportedly converted to Islam and recited the Shahada after witnessing a CV-22 Osprey disintegrate in what one witness described as an "act of God." A short time later, a fish appeared to proclaim "Allah! Allah!"
Reporter: Why is the U.S. intervening to support the Japanese yen at this time?
Trump: Japan’s been very good to us, with the exception, of course, of Pearl Harbor.
@VanderDussenS Watching those bystanders try to help actually made me cringe. Sure their intentions may of been good but damn is it obvious they have no business in actual surf
In that split second Enzo Fernandez has only one choice. Yes, he can lose his nation the World Cup. But then he would miss the chance to commit an amazing, amazing, incredible foul. And if you understand Enzo Fernandez, you would understand he never even had a choice to make
Breathing in hefty lungfuls of smoke as I get explosive diarrhea from salad, the sky turns apocalyptic orange while oil companies drill in protected lands, screwworms are eating cattle alive and the president just paid $6 million for rape. And I’m also able to bet on all of it!
This, and it's not an anti-Argentina take. It's every game at a major tournament and really any game in any league. You'd see 30 cards a game, which is fair if that's what you want. But it's got to be enforced across the board or we get selective refereeing.
