From True Stories on Facebook:
Jeremy Glick was 31 when hijackers seized Flight 93 and threatened to blow it up. He called his wife, told her he loved her, learned the plane was part of a larger attack, and then helped organize the passengers to storm the cockpit.
Glick had no weapon.
He was not a soldier.
He was a sales manager, a husband and the father of a three-month-old daughter.
He was also a former national collegiate judo champion and black belt.
On September 11, 2001, Glick was flying from Newark to San Francisco for business.
Then the hijacking began.
The passengers were forced toward the back of the Boeing 757.
A hijacker claimed there was a bomb.
Another had a knife.
Glick called his mother-in-law's home and asked for his wife, Lyzbeth.
When she came on the line, he told her what was happening.
Then he told her something even worse.
He had learned about the attacks on the World Trade Center.
The plane wasn't simply being hijacked.
The passengers realized the aircraft could be turned into a weapon.
Glick told Lyzbeth that he and several other men were considering rushing the hijackers.
He asked what she thought.
She told him to do what he had to do.
Then the passengers began voting.
Fight back.
Or wait.
The decision was made.
They were going to take the cockpit.
Glick remained on the phone with his wife as the plan developed.
He told her he loved her.
Then the passengers moved.
Glick, Todd Beamer, Tom Burnett, Mark Bingham and others rushed toward the hijackers.
The cockpit voice recorder captured the struggle.
The plane began pitching violently.
At 10:03 a.m., Flight 93 crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Everyone aboard died.
But the plane never reached its intended target.
The 9/11 Commission concluded that the passengers' actions prevented the hijackers from completing their mission.
Glick's wife was left with their three-month-old daughter, Emmy.
He had called her knowing he might not come home.
He had told her he loved her.
Then he went forward.
Jeremy Glick boarded Flight 93 expecting a business trip.
Less than an hour later, he was deciding whether to fight four armed hijackers at 30,000 feet.
He knew the odds.
He knew there was a bomb.
He knew the plane was probably going to be used to kill more people.
And he still went.
He was 31.
He never came home.
But Flight 93 never reached its target.

@lippyent I guess it’s how you define the question. I graduated mid 80s prom, tux cumber-bun tie slacks. Women nice dress not too revealing . Today I don’t know it’s free for all everything goes. So I consider 80s and earlier decades dressing up. Not so much today.
