I read somewhere that 50% of Continental pilots were air force pilots at one time. So they've gone through basic training and probably other survival training.

They even threw boiling water on the hijacker. Man that's hard-core. :) He gets knocked down, tackled by 10 people, AND gets boiling water thrown on him.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2310 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 2.5-3-3-8 (1T), WD 250 gig 7200 rpm SATA2, CoolerMaster Praetorian case
