Did you know that thousands of lives where saved on 9/11 due to one Jews action? Please read!?

Question

David Miller* [*not his real name], a pious
observant Jew was at Logan Airport getting ready to board United Flight 175. He was going to LA on an important business trip and had to make this flight.He boarded the plane and watched the doors close.

Suddenly he remembered that he left his tefillin
(ritual boxes with straps worn by Jewish men in prayer) in the terminal boarding area. He politely asked the stewardess if he could go back and retrieve his tefillin, which were sitting just a few feet from the gate.
She told him that once the doors of the plane
closed, no one was allowed off the plane. Not about to take this sitting down, he asked
if he could speak to the pilot to obtain special
permission. Surely the pilot would understand.
The pilot did not comply. He simply restated the policy.

David was not about to lose this precious mitzvah, or let the holy tefillin get lost like that, so, not knowing what else to do, he started screaming at the top of his lungs, "I am

I am going to lose my tefillin." The crew asked him to be quiet, but he refused to stop making a fuss - a rather loud fuss.

Finally, he was making such a ruckus and a tumult that the flight crew told him that they would let him off the plane, simply because he was a nuisance.
In fact, even though it would only take about 90 seconds to run out, grab his tefillin, and run back - they were not going to wait for him.

No matter. David was not about to lose his tefillin, even if it caused him great inconvenience or cost his business a loss. He left the plane, never to reboard.

This flight was United #175. The second plane to reach the WTC. David's devotion to a mitzvah saved his life.

The consequences of David's actions do not end there. Originally the terrorists wanted both towers struck simultaneously to maximize the explosive carnage.
Later it was learned that due to this whole tumult,the takeoff was delayed, causing a space of 18 minutes between the striking of the two

Later it was learned that due to this whole tumult, the takeoff was delayed, causing a space of 18 minutes between the striking of the two towers.

This delay made it possible for thousands more people to escape alive from both buildings.

Literally thousands, if not tens of thousands, of lives were spared because one Jew would not forsake
his beloved tefillin. [The foregoing true stories are documented in "Even in the Darkest Moments" by Zeev Breier.]


Thoughts!

To "phxfet" the reason why I made sure to include the description of the person as a Jew is because I have been coming across one false theory after another about Jews knowing about some Jewish consipiracy - that they knew about the attacks and didn't go to work, blah blah blah. Obviously, not only is it totally false, but as you see here the opposite is true.

Once again as usual, people use the Jews as scapegoats and blame everything on the Jews, making themselves look ignorant and foolish. I just wanted to clear things up in the little way that i could. So, as you see, it was important to me to mention that he was a Jew. (besides for the fact that I am very proud of it since I am also a Jew)

Answer 1

That is a great story..... it is these kinds of things that the media never tells to the people. They only want to show the negative aspect of things regardless of how small things are. As you can tell, I have no respect for the media.

Answer 2

I also heard that the former owner of the building ( the owner who had it at the time of the 911 hit) had a premonition that it would be a target again after being hit once before and had instituted such strict evacuation drills that many many thousands were saved....but HE died in the hit.

Answer 3

We do not think in inherit sin, so, we do not have to be "stored." We have methods of repenting for our movements for which we're thoroughly liable. We repent as people, with prayer, & making amends with the man or woman harmed (if a man or woman is worried). Judaism on no account required blood for sins, relatively the reverse it states evidently that blood isn't wanted. Sacrifice in historical days used to be simply supplying of anything of significance (which finally fed the clergymen), and flour would be substituted. We wouldn't have a repair proposal of afterlife. We cognizance on find out how to reside lifestyles within the right here & now in some way that brings in God & is morally well, in order to raise ourselves & connect with our larger selves. We do well for it is possess sake & the way it makes us suppose... So, we do not fear approximately having everlasting lifestyles. There are suggestions in orthodox circles approximately what occurs to the soul after dying that entails anybody no longer wholly evil. However, they aren't FIXED standards. There's debate, war of words, openness to quite a lot of suggestions, & no truly motive to assess what we can't realize... These underlying standards are relatively exceptional than Christianity's. ========== Several different answerers have been answering on what makes a well ethical lifestyles. For Jews it is following Torah & it is commandments (Reform Judaism takes one more view on decoding them than Orthodox Judaism does.) For non-Jews there is a record name the Noahide legislation, that is so much shorter & a subset of the ten commandments. Jewish legislation entails the noticeable like shabbat & kosher, but in addition to supply 2 examples, lashon hara (to not talk in poor health of others), find out how to do charity so it is so much respectful of the receiver, and plenty of, many different portions. While those are notion to support in being attached to God within the "international to return" (which will confer with the messianic age or the instant afterlife), the idea of afterlife remains to be indistinct & complexly debated. And a few sin does no longer give up you from access, simplest being relatively evil does.

Answer 4

Religious devotion. Someone that devoted, even with the lives he saved set aside, is a true believer.

Answer 5

What's with the "Jew" thing? Why is it impotant that this man was a Jew and not some other race? Sounds like racism to me or maybe the asker isn't comfortable with their race.
