Flight 93[]
Glick's last words to his wife, on Flight 93, were: "We're going to rush the hijackers." Then he put down the phone.[3][4]
Co-workers and family all stated that they were not surprised that Glick took action. Glick's brother-in-law Douglas Hurwitt said "that was my brother-in-law. He was a take-charge guy."[3] Glick's former boss, Thomas Torf said: "He was a no nonsense kind of guy. He took ownership of things. Very focused. He loved his family. He was a good business man. All of us loved him."[5]
