Get ready.

This, this is a Bay movie.

They thought it was just another ordinary flight. But within minutes,

their plane was hijacked by terrorists.

The passengers made an impossible choice, and their courage changed

history forever.

um

One at a time.

Thank you.

I just wanted to let you know that I'm on the 8 o'clock instead of the 9.20.

I changed flights.

I'll be getting in around 11, 15 or so.

See you then, hon.

Everything's fine.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to United Flight 93 bound for

San Francisco.

We are now boarding first class passengers, people with small children

and those otherwise needing assistance.

It's a light flight today, so once first class is cleared, we'll dispense with

boarding by section.

Please have your boarding cards ready.

Have a nice one.

Flight instructions?

Check.

Commercialization? Check. Radio and radar?

Check. Left and right engine hydraulic pump.

Left and right electric hydraulic pump.

We're now boarding all roads of United Flight 93 to San Francisco.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Can I go ahead? I'm sorry.

My plane leaves in two minutes. I'm sorry. I owe you all. Sorry.

United Flight

93

is now closed. All passengers should be on board at this time.

She did.

Thank you.

Here you go. Have a great flight.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Absolutely.

Thanks.

Transponder. Transponder.

Fire warning panel. Check left and right electric hydrolux.

The cabin is secure?

Great. Lock her up.

Ground flight tech, go ahead.

Brakes off. We're clear for pushback.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm Debra Welch. On behalf of Captain Dahl and the entire crew, I'd like to

welcome you. That's normal.

Right engine.

That's normal.

Thank you for your great flight.

I'm glad his wife today.

I was going to call in sick.

I took someone else's shift.

Your husband almost divorced me over it. Yeah? He begged me to stay home and got

mad at me when I didn't. I just made home a plan and begged me.

What was your excuse?

I want to be home for my son's first birthday.

Ladies and gentlemen, the captain speaking.

We're going to be another 15 minutes or so.

But we have a pretty good tailwind, so we should be able to make up some of the

time in the air.

Thank you. Glad I rushed.

Matt, it's Mark.

Thanks for driving.

I made the plane. I'm sitting in the first class. Can I get a glass of

orange, please?

The plane's going to be 45 minutes late. Can you leave that?

I'll call you when I get in.

Bye.

... ... ...

...

... ... ...

...

Come in, please. Is that your call?

What do we got?

We may have a hijacking. We've got a threatening transmission probably

intended for the cabin.

Is anyone else on frequency?

American 1-1, Boston Center. Come in, please.

American 1-1, Boston Center. Come in, please.

Yeah, okay, I'll get back to you.

American, Boston.

Please listen very carefully. This is Amy Sweeney on Flight 11.

We've been hijacked.

Two attendants have been stabbed.

We're off... Hello?

Amy, Amy, hello?

Yeah. Hello, Amy.

United 93, runway 23, right clear for takeoff.

United 93, runway 23, right clear for takeoff.

Do we know where it's headed?

Any word from the cockpit?

Amy? Hold on. Yes, I have to speak very fast. Do you have any idea where you're

headed? No.

People at coach think it's a routine emergency.

We've asked for a doctor, but none's on board.

They still think it's a heart attack. Can you tell us anything more about the

hijackers?

How are the people who were stabbed?

One flight attendant's okay.

I'm not sure.

The other may not make it.

We have her on oxygen.

Oh, my God! Something's wrong here! What's happening?

Amy, are you still there?

We're in rapid descent.

We're all over the place.

Can you look out the window and tell us where you are? Do you recognize

anything? Amy, do you know you're headed toward Kennedy?

me amy amy can you hear me amy i think i lost her amy

no we've lost her amy

No.

And you're looking at a live picture. A plane hit one of the towers near the top

of the building.

Here's another perspective.

Three all over. Smoke is billowing from the top ten or so floors of the tower.

I would assume that it's being evacuated as we speak. In here. Now, we're trying

to find out what type of aircraft collided. Their offices.

The fire department is responding to this event, which happened around 8.45

this morning, and we have so far not been able to obtain word on how many

casualties we may expect.

The plane could have been en route to Newark or Kennedy.

And for some reason, it strayed off path.

Planes circle this area as they wait in rotation to land at Newark. Although how

an aircraft could hit one of those massive towers on such a clear day, it's

very hard to comprehend.

It doesn't look good. Hi, this is Melody Homer.

I just wanted to send a message to my husband, Leroy Homer, via ARC.

He's first officer on flight 93.

93, okay.

Things are pretty hectic.

That flight is proceeding normally, though.

I can take your transmission now.

Hi, hon. I just wanted to make sure you were okay.

Melody.

Stop, please. New terminal.

Can you help us track a plane that's straight off path? We lost a

transponder. Okay, yeah, I got a target that keeps coasting.

Okay, got him again. He's over at Staten Island.

Do you know who he is?

No, he's tracking towards Manhattan.

He's moving fast.

Looks like you got another one coming in.

Just saw another plane apparently go into the... Hitting the South Tower.

This is incredible.

A huge fireball from this explosion.

That would be the second... Two planes.

This raises... This has to be deliberate, folks.

Would you like coffee or tea?

Tea.

Would you like some coffee or tea?

Can I get you anything out there?

No, thank you.

That's good.

The second plane hit at 9.03 and both people were already at their deaths.

The death toll is going to be enormous.

Please.

I am hungry.

Is that a fire model?

Yes, it is.

Is it a movie?

No.

Girls, watch your little sister. I'll be back in a minute.

I can message your wife back now. In a minute, we're coming out of Cleveland

Center.

Tomorrow's my anniversary.

No kidding. How many years?

Five.

I'm going to surprise her and take her to London.

I'm going to check this out.

Beware cockpit intrusion. Two aircraft hit World Trade Center.

Better verify that.

Did you get it

out? Two sectors are covered. I'm working on the others.

Need Nolikins?

They're coming in now.

Hello Vanessa?

We have bomb and gun

Sit down. What's going on here?

Sit down.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Sit down. Tell us what you want. Tell us what you

want. We'll figure something out. Listen, listen. It's okay.

Don't move.

Take a seat.

Somebody call Cleveland.

United 93, verify 350.

United 93, verify your flight level. 350.

Good job.

Hello?

Are you okay?

No, I'm not. I'm on a plane that's been hijacked. Hijacked?

Yes. They just knifed a guy.

A passenger?

Stay calm, stay calm.

Just a little turbulence.

Where are you? Are you in the air?

Yes, just listen.

Shut up! No, no, no, no, no, please.

Listen, our airplane

has been hijacked. It's United Flight 9.

Stickers are saying there's a bomb on board. They've already knifed a guy.

He's called the authorities.

Tom? Tom?

What comes to mind to me is Pearl Harbor with the casualties here.

Sadly, it could be greater.

We certainly hope.

The United

93, verify your flight level at 350.

The United 93, verify your flight level at...

You know, one thing that I would assume that is being closely watched is the

possibility that other planes have been hijacked.

9-1-1, where's your emergency?

This is Dina Burnett in San Ramon. My husband just called from United Flight

93 to say that his plane has been hijacked.

I'm sorry, where'd you say he was?

He's on United Flight 93.

He called me from his cell phone a minute ago.

He said that his plane had been hijacked. A passenger has been killed in

his bathroom. Hold on, please. I'm going to...

No, wait.

This is Sergeant Ross with the Constitutional Police. You said a

plane's been hijacked?

Yes, my husband called me from United Flight 93. He said that he... You said

your husband called from the plane?

Who am I talking to?

Dina Burnett. Anna Claire.

He said someone had been knifed.

Tom Burnett. What is his occupation?

The COO.

He told me his flight has been hijacked. I'm sorry, we're pretty busy right now,

ma'am. Anna Claire! You're telling me your husband was on one of the planes

that hit the World Trade Center?

No, I'm not. This flight is still in the air.

I'm sorry, ma'am. Can you clarify? No, please just listen to me. Please.

My husband, his plane did not go into the towers. He's on United Flight 93 and

it's still in the air.

This is a completely different flight.

We've notified NARAC.

United 93, Cleveland.

United 93.

United 93, if you hear this, send our ident.

American 1060.

Ditto also on the other transmission.

American 1060, you heard that shouting also?

We heard it twice.

Executive 956.

Go ahead, Executive 956.

Just answering your call. We could hear that yelling too.

Okay, thank you. We're just trying to figure out what's going on.

We're about to go to the back!

Get up!

Get up! Get up right now! I said get up!

Is this going to be a hijacking now?

Let's isolate it on screen one.

How many people on board?

Pretty empty, 44.

Took off at 842.

It's traveling west at about 400 knots.

Are we in contact?

No, not since 927.

Keep trying to raise them.

I'm on it.

Keep real quiet!

Hello.

You're in the cockpit.

The guy with the knife is dead.

He's dead?

Who's dead?

Ghosts. I tried to help him, but I couldn't get a pulse.

They're hijacking planes all up and down the East Coast. They're taking them.

They're hitting a designated target.

They've already hit both towers at the World Trade Center.

Suicide mission.

Line planes in the buildings up and down the coast.

They don't know if it's commercial airliners. They're speculating cargo

planes, private planes, and commercial.

No one knows.

They're not sure. At least three, maybe more.

No Back to New York the World Trade Center

Wait, then we're turning back the other way.

We're going south.

What do you see?

I don't see anything.

Rural ground or rural area.

It's just a field.

Hey, Tom.

Hey, hey.

No,

Tom. Is that Daddy and Mommy?

Yeah.

This is the captain.

United 93 calling.

United 93, you're unreadable. Say again slowly.

Executive 956.

Sounded like he said there was a bomb on board.

Say again. You there, 93?

Sounded like someone said they have a bomb on board.

That's what we thought. We just didn't get it clear.

Executive 956.

Aircraft transmitting at 12 o'clock, 15 miles.

Turn left heading 225.

I'll get you away from him.

Looks like he's climbing.

Okay, I want to keep everybody away from him.

Okay, I think we got him inside.

1989, I have traffic for you at 11 o'clock.

15 miles southbound, 41 climbing. Looks like he's turned east wide at 360.

The captain?

We have a bomb on board.

We are going back to the airport. They have metal demands.

United 93.

Calling United 93.

This is

the

captain.

We have a bomb on board.

We're going back to the airport.

They have met our demands.

back to the airport.

Go watch by the curtain.

Go on.

Hey.

The biggest fear is that there are more attacks coming.

Yes? Joanne, it's me. It's Jeremy.

Put Liz on the phone.

Yeah, yeah, hang on. Liz? Liz?

Mom?

It's Jeremy.

Jeremy,

it's me. Are you okay?

Liz, there's some very bad men on board.

Something. A couple of planes have been hijacked.

There's three of them, Middle Eastern looking, maybe Iranian.

Both are off the plane.

Okay.

Did they hurt you?

No, they sent everybody to the back of the plane.

One of them's got a bomb strapped to his waist.

I can't believe this is really happening to me.

You'll be okay.

You'll be okay.

I can't believe this.

I can't believe this is really happening.

They say they're going to blow up the plane.

Oh, my God.

They've got a bomb, and Jeremy is on the plane.

Liz.

Liz, I love you.

I love you so much. No, no,

no. Listen.

Listen, Jeremy.

It's okay.

I'll be strong.

I'll be strong for you, and you'll be okay. You have to believe that.

You'll be okay.

As long as the God lives, I don't think I'm going to make it out of here.

Don't be silly.

That's not going to happen.

It's not going to happen, Jeremy. I won't let it.

I want you to know that whatever you

decide to do, Don't talk like that.

I love you.

We're going to stay together.

We'll work this thing out.

I need you to hold on. I need you to hold on for one second. Jeremy.

Jeremy?

Hello?

Kathy.

It's Mark. Put Mom on the phone.

I'm on a flight from Newark to San Francisco.

Three guys on board.

They say they have a bomb.

A bomb?

Mark. Mark, who are these guys?

The question is, can anybody fly a plane? It's paramount. I've got to find

Lynch.

Mark, are you there?

I think Lynch. Can anybody on the ground talk to him, Dennis?

Mark? I don't know. I think so.

What's the alternative?

That's all we've got.

Mark!

Mark, who are these guys?

You believe me, don't you, Mother?

I believe you. Who are these guys?

Mother?

Mark?

Are you there?

Mother?

Yes, if you could come over right away be such a help if you can take them to

school Thank you so much

Jerry eyewitnesses

on highway 110 saw a plane fly into the structure.

It struck the southwest side

Dina. Are you okay?

No, I'm not.

They just hit the Pentagon. I thought it was your plane.

What? They just hit the Pentagon.

They just hit the Pentagon.

What?

They take that five planes have been hijacked and they... I believe that all

of them are commercial planes.

I haven't heard them say anything about which airline, but...

All of them originated on the East Coast.

Do you know who the bomb is?

No.

What's the probability of them having a bomb on board?

I don't think they do.

I mean, I think they're just using it for crowd control.

Okay, a plane could survive a bomb, Tom, if it's in the right place.

Did you call the authorities?

Yes, they're here.

They didn't seem to know anything about your plane.

Listen, we're going to do something.

We're talking a plan together.

Who's helping you?

Just some people. Different people.

Don't worry. I'll call you back.

I got a schematic of the plane.

How wide is the corridor?

18 inches.

24 inches.

We'll see a single file spread out when we get to the galley.

What should we do, Bob?

Should we call the police?

The police can't fly, Alice.

They hit the World Trade Center with hijacked planes, and they just got the

Pentagon.

Listen to me, Alice.

You've got to call Mark on his cell phone, all right? And tell him this is a

suicide mission. Tell him they have to do whatever they can to try and get

control of the plane back.

Call the police afterwards. Tell Mark that they have to get that plane back.

Tell him this is a suicide mission.

The circuits are busy.

Try again.

Yeah, my wife wasn't committed. She said a plane can't survive a bomb.

This

is

Mr. Jefferson, shift supervisor.

I understand your plane's been hijacked?

Yes. I'm Todd Beamer.

I'm on United Flight 93.

We're over Ohio, maybe.

The hijackers have knives, and they're in the cockpit flying the plane, I

guess. How many passengers are aboard this flight?

Maybe 40.

The two are lying in the corridor.

The captain and the first officer.

The captain and the first officer.

I don't know if... Are you still there?

Yes, I'm here.

Todd?

If at any time you think your life is threatened, lay down the phone, but

don't hang up.

Leave the line open.

No, I'm okay. I can talk.

Do you know what they want?

Money or ransom or what? No, no, I don't.

I'll be here as long as you need me.

Hold on a second, okay?

I'll be back.

Honey,

are you there?

Jack?

Pick up, sweetie.

Oh, well.

I just wanted to tell you that I love you.

We're having a little problem on the plane. I'm totally fine.

I love you more than anything.

I'm comfortable.

And I'm okay for now.

I know your mother will want to talk to Elizabeth.

What's your number? I'll dial.

All right.

What's the latest?

Looks like there's a fourth plane on its way here, too. A United plane, flight

93. Their estimate is 25 minutes from downtown.

Has Nora been notified?

We don't know yet. I called FAA Herndon. Check if they're working on it. Working

on it.

Where's the vice president?

They're bringing him over from Blair House now.

FAA just gave an order to ground all planes.

How many are still up?

A total of 4,500, but we've been bringing ours in.

What's the present airspeed on 93?

Over 450 knots.

What, 12,000 feet? The aircraft could break up at that speed.

Possible.

me, Elizabeth.

Hello, darling.

Are you okay?

Mom, we've been hijacked and I'm calling to say goodbye.

Why would you want to do that?

What's going on?

No.

A little bit. I have my arms around

you.

And I am holding you.

And I love you.

I have my arms around me. I love you too.

hijacked and I'm not going to come home.

Elizabeth, darling, I want you to listen to me.

We don't know how things are going to turn out, so let's

just be here in the present.

Let's look out the window.

a beautiful blue sky, and let's just breathe.

And let's take a few deep breaths.

Liz, we're going to vote soon.

I don't know what to do.

We'll figure it out together.

Is it true?

About the Trade Center?

Yes.

You didn't know I would fly to you?

Liz, are the hijackers blowing up planes?

No. You sure?

They said they got a bomb on that plane.

Are they going to blow up this plane?

I mean, they said they would.

I don't think so, Jeremy.

Are they going to crash us into the World Trade Center?

No.

No, the towers... No, they won't do that. Why not?

He's done that.

Will someone please tell us what's happening? We need to know!

How do you know this is going to...

What should we do?

Should we retake the plane?

How many of them are there?

Three, four.

Jesus, I love you.

Oh, Jesus.

I want to hold you so much.

Do

they

have guns?

No.

Knives.

I mean, there's three passengers on board.

I don't think it's me.

I think maybe... There are no guns.

No, they would have shown them to us.

I think you should do it.

Okay.

I'll use my plastic butter knife.

Stay there.

Don't get off, please.

Chairman, what are you doing?

What's that noise?

Stay there.

It's being routed through there, sir.

Okay, get through to NORAD. Let's see if we can get a read on this before it gets

here.

This is your mother.

Apparently it's terrorists, and they're hell-bent on crashing the aircraft. So

if you can, try to take over the aircraft.

There doesn't seem to be much of a plan to landing the aircraft normally, so

group some people and perhaps do your best to take control

of it.

I love you, sweetie.

Good luck.

Goodbye.

American 1060 and Executive 956, we just lost the target on that aircraft.

Executive 956, we had a visual on it. Stand by.

You have a visual on it now?

We lost the transponder. We did, but we lost another turn. You can make a turn.

Back to 220 heading.

Let me know if you see him.

He's still there. We got him.

956.

Let's see a show of hands.

Mirza, the cockpit.

Sayyidullah! Sayyidullah!

Sayyidullah!

No. How are the kids?

They're fine. They're outside playing.

They want to talk to you.

Tell them I'll talk to them later, okay?

I called your parents.

I told them that your plane had been hijacked.

Shouldn't have worried them.

How are they doing?

They're okay.

Your sisters are with them.

We're waiting till we're out.

Over our rural area.

We're going to take back the airplane.

What? No, no, no.

Just sit down. Be still. Be quiet. Don't draw attention to yourself.

Dina.

If they take us into the ground, we've got to do something.

It's up to us to do it. No one else can.

What do you want me to do?

Pray, Dina.

Just pray.

I love you.

We're going to do something.

I'm going to get more cans, guys.

than it is for me.

I'm just sitting here being quiet. I'm not even talking.

We don't have to talk.

We're together.

We have an update.

We think planes from Selfridge are 23 minutes from contact with Flight 93.

That's outside 93 TTA, isn't it? No one knows for certain. The estimation is

that 93 is 19 minutes to the capital.

Then the fighters are going to have to engage it inside DC airspace.

Okay, contact yet. See if they can execute the order in time.

Have you been in touch with Langley? The jets are circling overhead, but they

don't have their orders to engage 93 yet, just for general protection.

Somebody better issue them.

Please tell my children that I love them very much.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what to say.

I'm trying to stay calm.

I hope... I hope I get to see your faces

again.

I love you.

They already called mine.

Lisa, you

there?

Yes, I'm here.

Lisa.

You call my wife and kids.

And you tell them just in case.

I'll tell them what you told me.

What do you think, Lisa? Should we do it?

I stand behind you, Todd.

It's a dimming favor.

Of course.

Say the Lord's Prayer with me.

Right now, Todd?

Our Father,

who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

Forgive us of our trespasses, that we forgive those who trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory.

Forever and ever.

Amen.

Amen.

Ready?

Okay.

Let's roll.

Todd, are you still there?

Elizabeth?

I gotta go, Mom.

Everyone's getting ready to go to the cockpit.

I love you.

United 93 calling United 93.

Are you there, 93?

Cleveland. United 93. Cleveland, this is Hardin FAA. Do you have a position on

flight 93?

One minute, please.

Presently around 10 miles west of Johnstown, doing around 400 knots.

Thank you. What's your VHF?

121.8 megahertz.

Do you have any information on the intercept of that plane?

Negative at the moment. Thank you.

What did he say?

I'm maintaining cord south-southeast at 1-2-1.

Copy that, Dixie. This is Maxcott here.

What's your readiness status?

Beg your pardon, sir?

In case you have to engage.

Could you repeat that, sir?

Yes. What's your readiness status in case you have to shoot it down?

We have 20 millimeter.

Didn't have time to take on sidewinders before we scrambled.

We may be able to cripple it.

I guess if it comes to that, we can always ram it.

Roger that. Stand by.

132 is on the ground.

Anything?

Nothing.

I'll play a hard copy.

We are looking at a live picture of the World Trade Center

literally starting to crumble. It is collapsing.

World Trade Center over 100 stories vanishing before our eyes. That would be

the South Tower, correct?

Yes, the South Tower. You know that there have to be people in there.

Firemen have leaked as well.

Debris from the collapse.

I'm Tom.

My God, we're getting low. We've got to go.

This cart's really going to be moving.

All right.

Oh, my God, man.

Ready?

Ready?

Look out your window at 10 o'clock. Do you see a United 757 in the vicinity?

Oh, yeah, I see about six miles north-northwest.

Moving pretty fast.

We don't have control of that aircraft.

It's rocking back and forth.

Take evasive action. Get out of there, please.

We got a visual spotted from a private plane. 93 is 10 to 12 minutes away, sir.

Take her down! Take her down!

United 93, if you hear the center, ident.

United 93.

United 93.

I got it.

United 93.

United 93, Cleveland, do you still hear the center?

United 93, do you still hear the center?

United 93, do you still hear Cleveland?

United 93, United 93, Cleveland.

Dixie, flight's down.

Down as in landed?

Yeah.

information is available.

Is there a plane in there? We don't know yet.

What do you mean?

We're still looking for it. At first we thought it was in the hole, but there's

nothing in there.

It must have landed in the woods, but we haven't located it yet.

We're talking about a 757.

A huge airplane.

Yeah, we know.

You can help us look for it if you like.

has crashed.

It is believed to be United Flight 93 that was en route to San Francisco.

It was flying southeast on a path heading towards Washington, D.C.

We don't have any information as to the cause of the crash, but we will keep you

informed. Again, this would be the fourth plane taken over by terrorists.

We don't have any information as to the cause of the crash, but we will keep you

informed.

Lisa, release the call.

Release the call.

of our greatest city, but as you know, partners have that ability to pull

together in times like this.

This city will rebuild, and no doubt these towers will be constructed, and I

would assume there will be a response.

and dust and debris leaving the area.

The scale of the building and their horrifying collapse has covered the

whole part of Manhattan and the clouds.

Smoke inhalation has been widespread in seven square blocks and has occurred in

dust and debris.

All that remains of these once majestic towns.

Why must it have impacted such a speed?

Thank you.
