I found it strange that in United 93, the Hamburg Cell, and even Amis’ short story, they involved Ziad’s wife Aysel. Maybe it is this personal connection that we know about him that lends for our sympathy; the phone call where he tells her he loves her, “Ich liebe dich”. We know he hesitated to hijack the plane; maybe he was thinking of Atta drinking the holy water, and the absence of his own. Looking at the maps in the 9/11 commission report, it is clear to see that United 93 went much further away from Washington by this waiting and being hesitant. Did Jarrah’s conscience save the Capitol? And if it did, maybe we should sympathize with him.
