Who were the heroes of 9/11?

According this article (which I tend to agree with), it’s certainly not the Pentagon. The Pentagon couldn’t defend the Pentagon. Quoted:

The passengers of Flight 93, who stormed their hijackers and brought their plane down in a field in Pennsylvania, managed by contrast in only 23 minutes to “gather information, deliberate, vote and act”–knowingly, selflessly, in the public interest, after many loving farewells by cell phone.

I’ll try not to do too many depressing 9/11 stories today, but they might come up.
