A Couple of Random Observations

Very nice, though unfortunately she gets a few things wrong. We do know the results of the passanger uprising, they took out the hijakers in the cabin and were attempting to break into the cockpit when the plane was crashed. We also know that the Hijackers crashed the plane, if the passangers had regained control, I'm sure they would have tried to land it rather then crash it, but the CVR makes it quite clear they didn't have that chance. The target was the Capitol Building, not the White House, and while I'm not sure for 93, I'd suspect that since Hani on 77 didn't switch off the autopilot then Jarad wouldn't have either, just reprogrammed it.

yes but she is in grade seven, and no mention of NWO, Space beams, or CD...that makes her essay an A+ in my books.

Some of the details weren't that minor either. Some reported that the ship broke in two before going down, others reported that the bow sunk first and that the stern raised up out of the waters and then it slid straight down. Quite different accounts.

Made odder by the fact one of the surviving officers actually sketched the sinking at the time - It wasn't till Ballard's dive on the vessel that either board of enquiry findings were discovered to be wrong

Just a nitpick, because I can :p The autopilot is deactivated by any input from the control column. During the hijacking of UA93 there was a brief manual control override during which the aircraft abruptly lost altitude, before the autopilot was re-engaged.

The young girl also got the departure point for UA93 wrong, but these are all minor details for such a young person.
