Sitting in first class just makes it easier for the hijackers. They'll
slaughter all the first class passengers first.


Wouldn't first class passengers object to being slaughtered?



You're forgetting the mindset of before 9/11. Without the knowledge
of the fate of the other hijacked planes, the 4 hijackers had total
control of that plane with box cutters. One hijacker said he had a
bomb strapped to himself. Does the SM take the chance and shoot? I
don't know.


The hijacker must be prevented from gaining control of the aircraft at all
costs. He shoots.
