Missing details???[edit]

I just watched a docu-dram/quasi re-eneactment of the events called "I am Rebel" (Episode 1, Season 1 named "Jacked"). It included interviews with the hijackers and crew.

This article is missing so many details it looks like central media has white-washed it. Perhaps it would be a good idea to discuss the Alabama police threatening the men's family and forcing them out of town since that triggered events. And maybe it would be a good idea to discuss the call to the White House from the plane when the hijackers attempted to inform the executive branch.

Sadly, the the political statement being made by the hijackers were lost to history. The episode ends by highlighting more white-authority-on-black violence by discussing Trevon Williams murder and the death of Eric Garner by New York City police. I'm not sure if they can be captured by Wikipedia or not.
