From CNN:
"The foundation named for United Airlines Flight 93 passenger Todd
Beamer has applied for a trademark on his defiant last words. Beamer
is believed to have rushed the plane's cockpit with other passengers
to help overpower hijackers before the plane went down September 11 in
western Pennsylvania. While using an onboard phone to call the FBI,
the 32-year-old account manager with Oracle Corp. was overheard saying
"Let's roll." Since then, the commonly used words have become a
September 11 catch phrase. Singer Neil Young used it in a song, and
President Bush sought to make it a rallying cry. Now the Todd M.
Beamer Foundation wants to trademark it to sell hats, T-shirts and
mugs in his memory.
"The foundation says this was not the idea of Todd's widow, Lisa
Beamer. But she approves of the plan to raise hundreds of millions of
dollars to benefit the children who lost parents on Flight 93. "The
trademarking of 'Let's roll' is a strictly preventive measure from our
standpoint," foundation executive director Doug MacMillan said "We
want to limit its use. We want to be able to protect it, and we want
to utilize that to benefit the children." ---
"As this tasteful battle rages, meanwhile, the Widow Lisa has been busy
as a Beamer getting her own "Let's Roll" products to market through a
website called christianfamilyjewelers.com. She's selling (whoops; I
mean, the FOUNDATION is selling) superclassy, not-at-all-QVCesque
trinkets with the "Let's Roll" slogan on them.
"Here's the price list for the swag:
14k gold lapel pin: $139.95
14k gold pendant: $99.95
14k gold charm: $89.95
"Last, if you're not the jewelry type, Lisa and her foundation have
made it supereasy to donate at the website beamerfoundation.org. You
pays your money and you gets your choice of credit-card online
donations, mailing in a money order, direct-wire fund transfer, or (my
favorite) "unrestricted electronic stock transfers" to a Goldman Sachs
account. And where is all this booty going? I dunno, 'cause I clicked
on the "Grants" section of the foundation website and got this
message: "Information on Grants coming soon."

It is a nice story - heroes are hard enough to come by these days. Witnesses,
however, have stated that the plane blew up in the air, rather than upon
impact. Conclusion; it was shot down (as the other three were SUPPOSED to have
been, according to protocol). It doesn't really make Beamer less of a hero -
he
apparently did the best he could in a very bad situation. The rallying cry
makes for a pretty good Neil Young song, and would look alright on a t-shirt,
but I fear it's going to be overused. Bush should stick to "Let's all have a
pretzel and pass out!"

This is a total myth. It was shot down on orders of the Veep while Bush
was hiding his sorry ass.
Truth never stoped anyone from cashing in. Christian Family Jewelers is
a real site, though it sounds like a gay porn site it isn't.
Btw, maybe we will be treated to reruns of SWAT, as "lets roll" was
their battle cry.
I'll roll my own, thank you.

Neil Young can suck it. It's not like I ever particularly cared for
his overrated can't-carry-a-tune-in-a-dumpster musical talent, but the
final nail for Neil was when he said: "Even though we have to protect
freedoms, it seems we're going to have to relinquish some of our
freedoms for a short period of time ..."

How come we haven't heard ANY cockpit tapes
or seen transcripts? Because it's just a
bunch of screaming American Airlines pilots.
"We've lost control! Come in! Come in!"
But nobody heard them because the communications
were cut and the recorder turned off when
the transponder was cut off. That's the system.

For once you and I are vomiting in the same bucket. That whole thing was
totally made up, just like the "Iraqi atrocity stories" in the last
Corporate Action. Nobody knows what happened on that airplane.

Good grief. There's been a lot of scum come out trying to
make money out of the terrorist attacks. No doubt some
of the revenues will go to "save the children!" but the tradition
has been corruption, mismanagement, waste, and fraud with
very little going toward helping others.

One thing is for sure, an event never mentioned on the news: a whole LOT of
power-shitting. God preserve the poor folks. Those who orchestrate such
overwhelming misery should go to Hell twice.

And here we have what is wrong with all these ersatz
explanations--one piece of evidence is enough to reach a conclusion?
How about an alternative off the top of my head? Beamer at al
struggled with the strapped terrorist, causing his explosives to go
off prematurely, causing the plane to blow up in mid-air. And that's
IF the "witnesses" were telling the truth, or saw it correctly.

No, what YOU say is made up! There, now I have as much evidence as
you--somebody said it, so it's true.
Nobody knows what happened on that airplane.

What explosives? Exploding box knives? Exploding tennis shoes hadn't been
invented then. No, exploding rockets, from planes you bought.
