The planes at Andrews Air Force Base, where Penny was ordered to take off from, weren’t equipped missiles or ammunition. In fact, there was no active system in place for a spontaneous armed scrambles. Heather Penny got in her F-16 alongside her commanding officer, Col. Marc Sassevile and they took off towards what they knew to be certain doom.
What neither she nor Sasseville knew at that point in time was that Flight 93 had already gone down, thanks to the heroic actions of its passengers, who essentially sacrificed their lives to keep the plane from reaching the terrorists’ intended target.
“The real heroes are the passengers on Flight 93 who were willing to sacrifice themselves,” Penney said regarding the passengers who also inadvertently saved her own life. “I was just an accidental witness to history.”
She and her commanding officer wound up spending the remainder of their day clearing the airspace and escorting former President George W. Bush.
Fourteen years later, Penney still serves in the Air Force, but as a major. She is also the single mother of two girls.
She thinks often of what happened fourteen years ago.
Whether you call it an act of fate or bravery, nobody will ever forget the heroics of the passengers from Flight 93, and the people who were willing to give their lives in the struggle.

Getting so tired of this “next page” c**p. It’s just a cheap way to run more ads. When I see these ads I make a note not to puchase anything from those companies.
Bless them all
More then 50% of Americans believe our government did this to ourselves. And nothing can convince them. I guess it’s their own fault, the government has spent so much time lieing to its people that now nothing they say is believed. I’m now seeing a lot of people telling me the haulacost never happened. The haulacost has rooms full of documents and evidence, countless hours of video, hundreds of thousands of letters and transcripts as evidence. But it don’t matter anymore. Russia could attack us tomorrow and more then half of Americans would say it never happened. That’s how much they don’t trust their own government anymore. I want to blame the ignorance of uneducated people saying these things. But I can’t say I don’t see their point. You reap what you sow, and now the US government is screwed because decades of telling us about how transparent their government will be then find out later that it was a lie just to get elected. What this makes is a very dangerous America. An America where nobody really knows who our enemy is. And when told we don’t believe it.
Since no people were on any of the planes it would have been foolish for her to kill herself for no reason.
Total propaganda bs
At least 11 are alive and well
