That may well be, my brother, but if someone takes a light saber out with evil intent on a plane I am on, I plan to be victorious or dead before we hit the ground. I choose to die on my feet, rather than on my knees. Hopefully, my fellow passengers will support me. You may be good, but desperate numbers have a quality all its own.
Denny, that was what I was referring to. Damage the plane too badly to keep flying, best of some bad alternatives, at that point.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
