In an article from Christianity Today (2001), “Todd Beamer will always be remembered as a national hero, he was a hero long before he and others on United Flight 93 tried to overpower hijackers on Sept. 11, 2011.

cell phone contact from friends and relatives on the ground, the passengers figured out the hijackers did not want to negotiate but were rather on a suicide mission just like the ones that had crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. United 93 tries and makes a good attempt to adhere to reality by adding just the tiniest of details to portray a sense of mystery as if the viewers don’t already know what is about to happen. The director, Paul Greengrass, tries to make the film as realistic

Air crashes usually has very big impact on media and sometimes to airlines rather than to the global economy, especially at presence of victims. With the intention to avoid these negative impacts and because
