I Be Rollin'

According to this Daily Variety article (password req), one of A&E’s telefilms on their 2005-06 development slate is Flight 93:

"Flight 93," from Fox TV Studios and the Gerber Co., will be based on public records and document the final moments leading up to the tragedy. A&E said the movie will serve as a tribute to the heroic actions of the passengers who prevented the hijackers from using their plane as a missile. Nevin Shreiner is writing the teleplay.”

Now, I am no 9-11 expert by any means, and certainly no conspiracy theorist, but what “public records” is A&E talking about? The Flight 93 story was one of the most nauseating of all the post 9-11 “hero” worshipping chronicles. Someone speaking their last goodbyes on cell phones while the plane flies over rural Pennsylvania – let me hear it. And the whole “Lets Roll” thing – absolutely revolting and disgusting. Proof that the “Lets Rollers” “brought down” the plane – none. The book and subsequent tour that the wife of the head “Lets Roller” embarked on to make money either/and/or propagate the “Lets Roll” and other Flight 93 anecdotes (and please come forward and provide proof and facts that they are not anecdotes) – sickening and revolting. I am not sure enough adjectives and quotation marks were used to reveal my true Flight 93 feelings. Would love to hear your opinions on this matter.
