Are the heroes of 9/11 in hell if they didn't accept Jesus?

Its not a popularity contest. I'm so proud of the hero's that died on 9/11 however salvation is only available through acceptance in Jesus as your savior. If they refused to do so then they lost salvation and Heaven. Likewise if one of the terrorist sincerely understood that what he had just done was wrong and asked Jesus Christ into his heart then, yes he would be saved. Salvation through Jesus Christ is a free gift. All we have to do is sincerely ask for it.
