Tom Burnett was not the kind of hero you might expect. He did not rush into a building and save people. He was in the plane that was aiming to hit the White House. But there's a twist to his story. The plane he was on did NOT hit the White House. It was him who stopped it from hitting the White House, actually.
Tom Burnett knew something was going on that just wasn't right. He called his wife from the plane four times. The first time he called he said that he knew something was going on that wasn't quite right. The second time he called he said that he was going to try to figure out what was happening. The third time he said he KNEW something bad was going on. The last time he called he told his wife that he knew he was going to die, and he and a group of people were going to try to stop whatever bad people were driving their plane. He told his wife he loved her, and went into action.
And guess what? He saved the day. He probably saved the president. The plane they were on didn't reach the White House, instead, Tom Burnett stopped it from getting there and the plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania instead. So Tom Burnett really was a hero, who saved many lives, and was very brave.
