rustmeister s alehouse rustmeister s alehouse if you find yourself in a fair fight your tactics suck saturday september 11 2021 109 minutes twenty years later this still resonates by brad todd guest column sept 16 2001 it s been of course impossible to get past it even in a country with the attention span of a gnat we re all still glued to the tube the 24 hour news channels have heretofore proven they can make anything boring in short order but this one drips with emotion so thick even they can t wring it dry yep we re as stuck on it as we were tuesday morning grocery store checkout banter is still single subject i understand it s the only topic at the manicurist s shop too i think even children sense how big it is the ones who walk by my front door don t have their normal sing song cadence there s no screeching no laughter they know something s not right what is it something besides the grief i think although the grief is tormenting something deeper than the shock although the shock is overwhelming no i think it s the gut level fear that for the first time in my generation we were whipped whipped by our own complacency our own comfort our own insistence on putting convenience ahead of precaution our own arrogance that let us forget that the world is a dangerous place and the outcropping of that fear is an angst about the new order how long before we re not behind again how much time must we spend off the top of the world out of control of our own lives this of course is the angst that people in most of the rest of the world feel every day and if we look deep inside we can probably acknowledge that for all our egalitarian pontifications this is not the kind of equality and fraternal kinship in which we really believe i finally admitted this fear to myself three days after the attack i wasn t particularly proud of it it seemed like a shallow thing to fret over when such real suffering was all around me my house sits just three miles from the pentagon after all but there it was and the aftertaste of the bitter pill of my character flaw was the sad realization that such angst was osama s primary objective buildings and airplanes and yes even 6 000 lives were just the collateral damage despite the metaphoric value of last week s bricks and mortar targets the real core of the western economy isn t a skyscraper or a government building it s the can do swagger of the american worker and bin laden s soldiers cut deep into that swagger so he won or did he i thought so until friday night friday night i watched a jane pauley interview with the family of jeremy glick jeremy glick was a 31 year old who flew as a passenger on commercial airplanes for a living i describe him that way because right now i m fairly convinced i m just a 31 year old who flies planes as a passenger for a living the other parts of my job having become less noticeable this week as the interview unfolded i realized something i didn t know before jeremy glick and the people on united flight 93 bound from newark to san francisco knew what was happening on the ground at 8 48 a m mohammed atta took a jet headlong into the north tower of the world trade center eighteen minutes later and accomplice did the same to the south tower when jeremy glick called his wife his first question was an attempt to confirm something another passenger had heard on his spousal call was the world trade center story true lizzy glick paused thought for a minute swallowed hard and told him the truth yes they had moments later still on the line with her husband lizzy glick saw that another plane had run into the pentagon she passed that information on as well to her husband who relayed it to the other passengers jeremy glick then told her that the passengers were about to take a vote and decide if they should rush the hijackers and attempt to foul up whatever evil plans they had he put down the phone and a commotion was heard by those on the other end of the line then nothing a dead line an aborted missile launch against the town where i live that was 10 37 a m on tuesday september 11 just 109 minutes after mohammed atta rammed the first plane into the north tower of the world trade center just 109 minutes after a new form of terrorism the most deadly yet invented came into use it was rendered if not obsolete at least decidedly less effective deconstructed unengineered thwarted and put into the dust bin of history by americans in 109 minutes and in retrospect they did it in the most american of ways they used a credit card to rent a fancy cell phone to get information just minutes old courtesy of the ubiquitous 24 hour news phenomenon then they took a vote when the vote called for sacrifice to protect country and others there apparently wasn t a shortage of volunteers their action was swift it was decisive and it was effective united flight 93 did not hit a building it did not kill anyone on the ground it did not terrorize a city despite the best drawn plans of the world s most innovative madmen why because it had informed americans on board who d had 109 minutes to come up with a counteraction and the next time a hijacker full of hate pulls the same stunt with a single knife he ll get the same treatment and meet the same result as those on united flight 93 dead yes murderous yes but successful no so i think the answer i come to is yes but at least not for long they did whip us and maybe those of us who ve demanded to be let on airplanes at the last minute fed a culture of convenience that made it possible but they only had us on the mat for 109 minutes brad todd is a political consultant who lives in alexandria virginia continue reading posted by rustmeister at 8 46 am 2 comments wednesday
