I Missed Flight 93

Loyal Remote Hog readers know that we overloaded you loadies yesterday with loads of TiVo'ing options during the two-day Twilight Zone marathon on Sci-Fi. Included were some episodes airing today and into the wee hours of tomorrow. Now here's a real-life story that sounds like a classic episode of the Zoner. Or don't you remember the nightmare-sequence morgue nurse-turned-doomed airline stewardess, and her haunting refrain, “Room for one more, honey.” I Missed Flight 93 is about folks whose lives have been forever changed by unwitting decisions that kept them from boarding flight 93 on Sept. 11, 2001. It's unclear whether any of them actually heard a flight attendant (or morgue nurse) say, “Room for one more, honey.” But if you do know any of these ultimate survivors, please refrain from showing them the Final Destination films.
