Thomas E. Burnett Jr.
Thomas was a passenger on United Airlines Flight 93 when it was highjacked on 9/11. He knew the fate of the passengers and crew in that moment, so he ramped up the courage inside him. We will never know exactly what happened, we can only speculate what he did to prevent the terrorists from carrying out their grisly plan.
They eventually crashed in Pennsylvania, but Thomas Burnett was honored as a hero and credited with preventing the plane from crashing into the White House.
