Flight 93

At 0842, United Airlines Flight 93 departed Newark Airport for San Francisco. At 0930, passengers using cell phones called family members and told them the plane had been hijacked, and their families told the passengers about the other hijacked planes and that they were being crashed into buildings. By 1000, the passengers had made a plan to stop the terrorist from attacking another target, and as several prepared to strike back and regain control of the plane, a family member heard over a cell phone, “Lets Roll!” At 1003, after passengers took out the terrorist in the cabin and attempted to enter the cockpit, the remaining terrorist crashed the plane into an open field, killing everyone on board. United Flight 93 lost 45 people; American Flight 11, 92; United Flight 175, 65; and American Flight 77, 64.
