A father of one of the passengers aboard Flight 93 has strongly rejected the notion that the September 11 attacks were justified, calling the 43 individuals on board "killed in action" rather than victims. His response comes in defiance of statements suggesting that the U.S. "deserves" the attacks, prompting a sharp challenge to those who make such claims. The emotional plea underscores the perspective of families who view their loved ones as heroes rather than casualties. The remarks highlight ongoing debates about responsibility, sacrifice, and the legacy of the 9/11 attacks.


"Those 43 people on Flight 93 were not victims. They were killed in action. When I hear anyone suggest America 'deserves 9/11' my question is, ‘Who would say that?’" Todd Beamer's dad says.
