Something else entirely. We don't know what they actually did. Did they attack
them with weapons? Unlikely. One report I heard said they used cushions to
shield themselves while charging the hijackers. Maybe some of them threw
punches, a bit of kicking. I don't know. I think it's fair to assume the
hijackers weren't expecting this, so they probably had surprise in their
favour, too. How many were involved? How many of those actually committed
physical violence against the hijackers? I don't know. Do you? If not, how can
you possibly know whether or not they were pacifists?
