Tom Burnett (Flight 93): "God was trying to tell him something"
2006-09-10
blogger Mark Shea

. . . there's a fascinating interview with Tom Burnett's wife in the latest National Catholic Register. He was the guy on Flight 93 who more or less lead the passenger revolt against the hijackers. The really amazing thing about the interview is that Burnett's wife says that about a year before 9/11 he started feeling the strong sense that he needed to go to daily Mass because God was trying to tell him something. He told her it that whatever it was, it was going to affect a lot of people and it was going to involve the White House.

Tales of the Unexplained indeed.

Well done, thou good and faithful. Enter into the Joy.

#2  No telling how many people that young fellow and his comrades saved. If God spoke to him, I'm damn glad he did. I'll glad accept it as fact.
