Summary:
On August 21, 2015, a 25-year-old Moroccan man, Ayoub El-Khazzani, boarded train #9364 in Brussels, bound for Paris. He had an AK-47, a pistol, a box cutter, and enough ammunition to obliterate every passenger on board. Slipping into the bathroom in secret, he armed his weapons. Another major ISIS attack was about to begin. Khazzani wasn't expecting Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, and Spencer Stone. Stone was a martial arts enthusiast and airman first class in the US Air Force, Skarlatos was a member of the Oregon National Guard, and all three were fearless. But their decision - to charge the gunman, then overpower him even as he turned first his gun, then his knife, on Stone - depended on a lifetime of loyalty, support, and faith. Their friendship gave them the courage to stand in the path of one of the world's deadliest terrorist organizations. Although four people were shot or stabbed by the attacker before he was subdued, no one was killed.
