What would you do if you had the chance to stop the attack on the Twin Towers, but it resulted in the death of everyone in the plane? The factor which makes this a difficult choice is the loss of life, 100 or so innocent civilians killed to stop the plane from crashing, but if you did not stop the plane there could be a chance to avoid the crashing altogether, it's a risk.

What would you do:

Blow up the plane, killing everyone aboard but saving the terrorist attack from progressing granted that the plane does not hurt any other civilians in its descent

or

Let the plane fly with the chance the terrorists are killed and control of the Plane is re assumed by the correct authorities, but also risk the terrorist attack continuing.

Hypothetically speaking it does, I'm asking would you shoot the plane down or let it run its course with both option containing consequences.

It depends how big the chance of a takeover is.
I would say blow up the plane if it looked like there was very little chance of a takeover.

I agree with the plane being destroyed with the needs of many outweighing the needs of the few in this situation.

I would just blow up the plane before it got to it's destination. I might have killed some people in the process, but a whole lot of them were saved in doing so.

Wrong for 2 reasons.
1. Read the thread -_-
2. It doesn't matter how long ago it was.
Jesus was around 2000+ Years ago and everyone still talks about him.

I am using it as it is a good example for the question I'm asking, people still talk about WW2, it was ages ago, what's the problem with talking about the past.

The Bible was made ages ago and people still talk about it. WW2 was ages ago and people still talk about it.


OT : I would probably just blow up the planes to keep them from killing more innocent civilians. Yes, you did just kill off over 100 people, but you saved over a thousand.
