Message: Words cannot express my feelings and sorrow for Tom's wife and children. I just watched "The Flight That Fought Back" and my heart is in pieces. I never knew much about what happened on that flight. What a great documentary. Of all the passengers, Tom stood out to me the most. He reminded me so much of my husband. My husband is laying beside me asleep right now and I have tears in my eyes because I am terrified of the thought of something happening to him. I just can't fathom how Deena has gone on...she is such a strong woman. What an extraordinary man he was. Everyone knows he was a hero, but the love he showed for her and his daughters was amazing. Tom, Deena and their daughters will always be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless them.
