On September 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight 7, after departing from Dulles Airport in Virginia for Los Angeles, was taken over by Islamic terrorists and crashed into the Pentagon at 9:38 a.m., killing 184 people, including Teresa "Teri" Martin of Millersville, Ohio. That same morning, 40 strangers boarded United Flight 93 at Dulles Airport for Los Angeles; they included men and women, executives and retirees, students and parents, and though different from one another, they united to confront an Islamic terrorist group that had seized the plane. Among them was Todd M. Beamer, who, unable to reach his wife Lisa by airfone, reached a customer service representative by dialing "0," calmly gave critical information about events on the plane, and relayed messages for his pregnant wife and two sons, David and Drew. At Beamer's request, the representative prayed the Lord's Prayer with him, and at the end of the call she heard him say to others aboard, "are you ready? okay, let's roll." At 10:06 a.m., Flight 93 crashed near Shanksville, 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, Pa.
