We've got three kids at home, so that's a full-time job right there.
And you wanted the hot breakfast, right?
Everything okay here? Good.
He's got a bomb!
Get back! Get back!
What's going on?
Move! Don't stop! Go! Go!
Open the door. Open the door and nobody will be hurt.
Jesus Christ. Go! Go!
Sit down and fasten your seat belts!
Do it!
No, no.
You want to get that? You got the aircraft?
I have the airplane.
Go! Go! Go!
Get out of here, get out of here! Mayday!
Get out of here!
No!
Tom.
He started to scream, and somebody said, "Get out of here, get out of here."
No!
No! No, please, no!
Jesus Christ.
There's a guy who got stabbed.
He what? They stabbed this guy.
In first class, they stabbed him. It's the truth.
Who is that? There's a bomb, there's a man with a bomb.
What? And they have stabbed a passenger.
Oh, my God! Where's Debbie?
The men took her. They took Debbie. They grabbed her.
Where is Debbie?
They're taking over the plane. They took Debbie.
What?
United 93, air traffic for you is 1 o'clock, 12 miles eastbound 371.
United 1523, did you hear somebody,
did you hear some other aircraft on the frequency here?
Fuck!
Anything?
United 93, Cleveland. Verify your altitude.
United 93, Cleveland. How do you hear?
United 93, Cleveland.
Verify your altitude.
Tom, I'm getting no response out of a United 93. No response at all.
Ninety-three? Correct.
All right.
Delta 1989, Cleveland Center, 2249. Good day.
Delta 1989, roger.
Hey, Tom. Delta just called in. He sounds good.
This guy here? I don't think it's a hijack.
He took a turn of a 330 heading. It doesn't matter.
They said he was hijacked. They placed a phone call.
Keep working him, all right? I'm just telling you.
I don't know if we have one or two,
but I know he is descending on his own without a clearance.
Wait a minute. Delta. What about Delta?
Delta's answering. Delta's fine so far. The only one I don't have is the United 93.
He's not responding, and he is...
He was descending on his own. He appears to be climbing now.
Cleveland just called. There's a United 93,
the controller heard screams coming from the cockpit.
Sounds like the American 11. Jesus.
This is starting to look like a pattern.
Where was that aircraft last known? Do you know?
Which way is he heading?
We gotta get track information on these guys.
He was a Newark-to-San Francisco flight. He's still on course.
All right, get all the adjacent centers. Notify them.
In every direction.
And keep me advised on flight 93.
Hey, Ben? Ben? Delta's fine. He's not a hijack.
Cleveland just called. Delta's not? Good.
Take him off the board. Delta 1989.
Yeah. Yes, sir. Four planes. That's all I've got.
I can't defend the whole Eastern Seaboard with four planes.
What do you got?
Washington's on the phone. They said they've got American 77 lost.
He just went missing, out of Dulles. He's supposed to go to LAX.
This is another one?
What? What did she say?
American 77 coming out of Dulles
heading west, going to LAX.
Light me up every track, guys. What do you got?
I don't know how many more there could be in the air, sir, but the point is this.
We've gotta get them before they're within range of Washington.
We gotta get them before they're 60 miles,
50 miles minimum, or we're not gonna have a play.
We're not gonna be able to protect the Capitol.
Come on. Come on, guys. Answer it, please, answer.
Oh, my God, there he is. He's on the floor.
We need something to bandage him with.
Anybody a doctor? Medic?
She's an EMT.
I keep trying to call the cockpit. I can't get through.
I need you to move over.
What is going on?
Okay. Okay.
Oh, come on.
United 93, do you hear Cleveland Center? Ident, please.
Yes, I did, 797, and we couldn't tell what it was, either.
Okay. United 93, Cleveland. If you hear the Center, ident.
I got you.
Hi, my name is Sandy Bradshaw.
I'm on United flight 93 from Newark to San Francisco.
The airplane has been hijacked by three guys with knives.
One of them's got, like, a bomb strapped around his waist.
How many did you guys see? Three.
She thinks there were three. You were sitting in first class, right?
They said there were... They saw three.
No, they stabbed a first class passenger.
Thank you.
Did they answer?
What did they say? They couldn't tell me anything.
They didn't tell you anything at all?
It was just the maintenance department.
I got through to United. I got through on the maintenance line.
I told them that the plane was hijacked. I mean, I don't know what else to say.
I don't know what to do.
He didn't tell us anything! He's a maintenance guy!
No, no, no! You back! You back! You back!
Okay. Sit! You!
Ziad!
... you heard that also? Yes, sir. Twice.
Roger. We heard that also. Just wanted to confirm it wasn't from interference.
Victor, 956. Victor, 956, go.
I wanted to answer your call. We did hear that yelling, too.
Copy that.
I think we're turning.
Wait. We're turning. Are we turning?
That means it's all right. It's okay...
We're gonna go back to the airport.
They're going to ask for ransom. What?
I hope so.
In 1977 in Mogadishu, they asked, you know, for money.
They will ask for ransom. They will let us go.
We're going back to the airport, all right?
We're going back to the airport.
They're trained to deal with this situation. Okay?
And they'll get us down on the ground, all right? Okay?
I'm a pilot. I've been flying all my life. But it's... I just...
What? Something's wrong here.
We're okay.
Anybody know where 77 is?
Cleveland Center was the last one to talk to United 93.
Cleveland Center is the last one who spoke to United 93.
But what about the military response on this?
I'm talking to them now. I'm letting them know where we are with this.
Listen, you got to get somebody...
Where are they when we need them?
...down the hallway to talk to them.
They are supposed to be liaisoning with the military.
And I've got this colonel here, he's not giving me the answers I need.
We're giving you the best we can, sir. The best information I've got.
We're trying to get this CAP established over New York.
I don't give a shit about the CAP!
Listen to me. I've got a board full of planes.
American 77's missing! United 93 another suspected hijack.
Where are those fighter jets? Are they...
You've got to get them into position to do something about these aircraft.
We've got Selfridge on the command post right now.
They've got two jets that can fly from Alpena right now.
Get them on frequency. Hand them off to that. Copy that.
What do you got, Foxy? What do you got?
We got two F-16s out of Selfridge,
Chevy flight, airborne, coming to our freq now.
They're unarmed, but that's all we've got. Copy that.
We're gonna need more support and I've got to know, sir.
When they get there, what can they do?
... for a real world military mission.
I understand it's a commercial airliner, sir.
There will be casualties. But what...
Think about what happens if they hit the ground.
Think of what... If they hit the Capitol, sir.
Go ahead, MCC. Go ahead, go ahead.
We got two F-16s coming out of Selfridge, but they're unarmed.
But how many more are out there? That's the question.
We've got a report of at least one more. May we engage?
I think we shouldn't provoke them.
Just do what they want.
And then they'll land and let us go and let the authorities...
Shouldn't somebody try to talk to them?
the police, they'll take care of them.
Give them what they want.
Maybe we can negotiate with them.
Quiet.
Just listen to me, sweetie, I want you to call the authorities...
I'm calling from the Airfone.
You believe me, don't you, Mom?
Did he stab him?
We got to go up there.
Just take us back to the airport...
It's all right. It's just us.
Let us see the passenger. Just the passenger.
Richard, it's Jeremy.
I'm on the plane. Let me talk to Lyzzie.
Okay... You.
There's the passenger he stabbed.
Okay. Okay.
Okay. We're just checking the passenger.
Did you contact the pilot?
No, nobody said anything. We can't get through to the cockpit.
We can't get through.
Okay, okay, okay.
Sir, okay. Okay, sir.
We're United flight 93. We've been hijacked. There's three men with knives.
One of them has a bomb strapped around his waist.
See if he has a pulse. Is he breathing?
No, there's nothing. There's nothing.
Ahmed.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
You've got to come back here. What is it?
Come back here, come back here. What?
Oh, my God. Come on. Come on. Come on.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Stewardess, what's happening up there? What is happening?
This is awful. Listen... What is happening?
Just... We're going back to the airport. Everything's gonna be fine.
Call the pilot. Listen...
I don't know.
We're just finding out what we can find out.
Get back here. Get back here.
Listen, listen, listen.
Listen! The pilots are on the ground.
That was the pilots. They're on the ground outside the cockpit.
They're on the floor.
She saw the pilot what?
What? What did she say?
The stewardess just said the pilots aren't flying the plane.
She saw two bodies in front of the cockpit on the floor.
They said they saw the pilot and the co-pilot on the floor.
Oh, Jesus.
Flight United 93, call in.
MCC? Cleveland is saying that Delta 1989 is considered a hijack.
They're considering Delta 1989 a hijack.
We got Delta 1989, suspected hijack, heading west.
Hit me up every track. Did you copy that, sir?
Two planes? Yes.
This is a second plane, sir, coming in.
We got the one going west out of Boston, and American 11 coming into Washington.
We still got the Selfridge planes, sir.
Yes, sir. These guys are not armed.
These fighters are not armed, and we could ram...
If we ram them and eject, sir. Do we have the authority, though?
Just spoke to Cleveland, they said that US Air 2619 was headed towards Chicago.
They've just evacuated the Sears Tower.
Jesus Christ!
United 93 is now reported as NORDO.
No transponder, and now heading eastbound, over Cleveland.
Let me know what the hell is going on.
Six miles southwest of the White House,
Boston Center's tracking a primary moving fast.
Call Dulles tower.
Give me this again. Give me this again.
Can you get me some verification on that?
Sir, we have a VFR aircraft
southwest of Washington, headed straight in now.
Sir, I got another flight coming up south.
We have a plane headed toward the Capitol.
I got an unidentified plane...
Yes. I need to know about the ROE. Can we engage?
I want you to give me a 30-mile circle around Reagan National.
Right now, you hit me up every track on every aircraft.
Do we have any communication with the President at all?
Where are the fighters?
How long can that take?
Air Force One's taken off.
They don't know anything about it. They don't know where he's going.
Ben, they're evacuating the White House!
All right, thanks, Carol.
They're evacuating it right now.
Hey, are we gonna get an intercept on this, though?
Okay. Good!
Go get yourself out of your chair and go down...
There's no coordination between what NORAD has and what we have.
You know where they're headed.
Just get the fighters up there!
How about the Vice President, sir? Do we have a location on the Vice President?
Well, then the Vice President can make the call.
The Vice President can make the call. We can engage.
Holy shit.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. What's the ETA on those Langley birds?
Foxy!
Spiders are airborne at 0930,
but they brought them out on an eastbound heading rather than our northbound.
We're gonna get them turned as soon as possible.
What the fuck? They're what? They're heading east?
What the hell is wrong out there? Why are those planes off-course?
It looks like they came out on a standard scramble heading instead of the one I gave.
We're trying to get clearance to turn them now.
How the fuck did they get out there?
I don't know, sir.
What the fuck are they doing out over the water?
I don't care, God damn it, if they break windows, you turn them back over land!
Roll quad sevens. Turn them towards Washington now.
Keep looking for him. Keep looking for him.
It was a plane that crashed at the Pentagon.
And the Pentagon is being evacuated.
There is a large fire there, and that is the smoke you see
in the shot that you are looking at now.
Whether that fire is in the building itself or outside,
we have not yet confirmed.
There is a fire on the Mall in Washington.
The cause of the fire in the Mall in Washington, we cannot yet tell you.
Oh, my gosh!
Foxy! Sir.
I want those Langley birds over Washington.
... that two planes have crashed into the World Trade Center.
Surveillance, I want you to hit up tracks west of Cleveland...
Get back into position. ...heading towards Las Vegas. Hit up.
Light me up every track you've got. Let's go.
Let's go, let's go! Let's keep going here! Let's keep working!
ID, what do you got? All right,
he's off-course, he's deviated, and we don't know why.
Confirmed. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Confirmed hijackings.
That's the question. What are we going to do now?
There's a lot of confusion here at the Pentagon. It appears that
something hit the Pentagon on the outside of the fifth corridor,
on the Army corridor.
Several Army officers I talked to reported hearing a big explosion.
Listen, I'm not taking any more chances.
We got stuff flying around we have no control over.
And I don't want a board full of these planes hitting every building on the East Coast.
This is a national emergency. Everyone lands, regardless of destination.
That's gonna cost billions.
Just do it!
We have hundreds of international flights coming in.
They're already in the air.
No. No, I don't want any more international flights crossing the borders.
They'll have to go back where they came from.
Nobody's coming into the country from now on.
Everyone? Everyone.
Shut off the East Coast. Shut off all the internationals from Europe.
Shut off South America, shut off the West Coast,
nothing over the top, either.
We're gonna call Canada on that?
Yeah, Canada, too.
We're gonna shut down the airspace.
No, I can't exempt anybody.
Nobody comes in, and nobody takes off.
Land them all. Take a moment. Think about this.
We're gonna shut down the entire country right now?
That's right. Listen, we're at war with someone,
and until we figure out what to do about it, we're shutting down.
That's it. We're finished.
... can handle the emergency situation.
I don't know.
I don't know what to do.
Does anybody know about the pilot yet?
They don't know.
No. They don't know.
What?
Two planes hit the World Trade Center.
What?
In New York. The World Trade Center. Two planes.
My wife says that there was an explosion at the World Trade Center.
What did he say?
Tell the stewardesses two planes hit the World Trade Center.
Two planes hit the World Trade Center. Tell the stewardesses.
What about the five planes?
Someone pass that back.
Just a second. Right.
It doesn't make sense. Are you sure you heard that right?
Two planes just hit the World Trade Center.
Two planes have crashed into the World Trade Center.
What are they doing? What are they doing?
Two planes just hit the World Trade Center.
Two planes hit the World Trade Center.
What did he say?
I don't know. I didn't hear.
It's on the news.
Yeah, it's on the news, yeah.
Where are you guys hearing this?
Somebody from up there said it. Ask up there.
Sandy, take her back, take her back.
It's airplanes.
They bombed the World Trade Center?
One after the other hit the World Trade Center.
Lyzzie, is it... It's planes. It's not a bomb.
It's two airplanes. It's not a bomb.
It's airplanes. What?
It's one after the other.
One after the other hit the World Trade Center.
Airplanes, one after the other, hit the World Trade Center.
Where did this... Who's hearing this?
Where did they come from?
He said it was on the news?
I'm on line with my wife.
Are you hearing this? What'd they say?
Two planes hit the World Trade Center. Is that right?
Do they mean prop planes?
Whose planes? What airline?
Is it United?
Okay, sweetie, I will call you back, I promise.
I just talked to my wife. Two planes have hit the World Trade Center.
There are five jets that have been hijacked.
Are we one of them, or are we the sixth?
Lyzzie, Lyzzie, Lyzzie.
Lyzzie, not the Trade Center, right? But the...
Into the Pentagon. It's on the news.
It's on the news, yeah. There was an...
There was an explosion at the Pentagon.
Just tell them that. That's all we know.
Hey, listen, there was an explosion at the Pentagon.
An explosion at the Pentagon. Not a fire, an explosion.
United 93, I understand you have a bomb onboard. Go ahead.
Executive 956, did you understand that transmission?
Affirmative. He said there was a bomb onboard.
Executive 956 turning 180.
Executive 956.
American 1060, do you see anybody northwest of you?
Can you see back that far there?
Do you have a visual on him now?
Got him. We're looking now, sir.
United 93, Cleveland.
United 93, call in.
United 93, United...
Put your seat belts on!
Oh, my God!
We're okay, we're okay. No, we're okay.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Hey, this is a suicide mission.
We have to do something. They are not gonna land this plane.
They are not gonna take us back to the airport.
I don't think there's any other option we have.
If we're gonna die, we're gonna die.
They're flying us into a building. We're gonna die.
We should not interfere with them.
There's a lot of us, but we gotta do something.
You see how low we are?
Is there a weapon? Is there something we can use?
Go back. You go back.
Stewardess, listen to me. Are you listening?
I'm listening.
Go back and you get everything you can...
You get every weapon you can. Get whatever we can use as a weapon.
But what are we gonna do?
We don't... I... We'll figure that out, but get every weapon we can.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
Okay. Okay.
Go get it. Get everything you can.
Okay, we need every big guy. Every big guy.
Every big guy. Luggage. Luggage. We need weapons.
Get back here. Get back here. Get back here. Okay.
We need to boil water.
For what? We gotta get water?
We gotta get weapons.
Promise me that Emmy
is going to know
that I just love her very much.
What else can we use? What else?
Wine bottles. Forks, knives.
The guy that I was sitting in front of said that he doesn't think the bomb is real.
That's all I know.
He's on his way back.
Come up with a plan, I'm gonna calm the other passengers
and we'll go along with whatever plan you come up with.
You've gotta...
Sit down. Sit down!
Oh, God.
So, what do we do? What do you have?
We got the forks, knives, hot water...
Hot water...
Yeah, I gave him the fire extinguisher.
Just let them go.
Hey! Sit! Sit! Just let them go. Just let them go.
Hey, come on.
Okay.
They have a bomb!
Do you really think he'd get a bomb onboard this plane?
Yeah, that guy in front of you said he didn't think it was real.
I know. That's what I think, too.
How does he get a bomb onboard this plane?
Jack, are you there?
Wake up, sweetie.
Okay.
I just want to tell you I love you.
We're going back to the airport.
I love you. I gotta give the phone to Linda now.
Bye, Dad.
I just love you more than anything. Know that.
I, well...
Please tell my family I love them, too. Bye, honey.
Please give my love to Mom and Dad.
And I really, really love you.
My safe is in the bedroom in the closet.
The combination is 302 and 0913
and it should open. My will is inside.
I'm trained in hand-to-hand, I'm trained in judo. So...
Okay. So we go up right behind you.
We have to go very fast.
Okay. Absolutely.
And I'm gonna... I don't give a fuck if that thing is real or not.
I'm going to get his arm, I'm gonna get his arm and I'm gonna break his arm.
We need a plan. We need a plan.
We're gonna do something.
Ahmed. Ahmed!
What is he doing? Oh, my God.
Hey, no talk!
So what...
Hey! You!
What is it? What?
Stop! Somebody else?
Okay! Okay! Okay! Oh, my God.
Okay.
Just stay calm. Just stay calm.
You guys are all right?
Sit! Sit!
Hey, sit! Sit!
Oh, my God!
Get your seat belts on!
You're not supposed to be able to see the ground that low, are you?
No, and not this fast!
Hello? 911?
911.
Yes, hijacking in progress.
I'm in the bathroom. United flight 93.
Yeah, I love you, too, Fred.
Goodbye.
You call your people.
Oh, Christ, it's not real. I understand.
It's not real, so I can handle it myself.
Go for the detonator first.
How do we get into the cockpit door?
Breakaway panels.
Just take him down.
You go after me...
Absolutely. ...but you go fast. Listen.
I'm listening! But we need to know who's gonna fucking fly the plane!
Go for his throat! What?
He said he could fly!
He said he can fly! He can fly a plane.
Listen, I think we might have a pilot. They said there's a pilot onboard!
We got a pilot. What? Who? Who?
Which one? This guy right here.
Down there. Third row.
On the right. Third row, third row.
Okay! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
You were a pilot? Yeah.
I mean, a single engine, I mean, you know?
Right. Right, right. You can fly this plane?
I don't know. I mean, I'll try. Okay.
'Cause we're gonna get you up there.
I understand. That's why we've gotta do something right now.
You got a plan? Come on!
Now, we're gonna take you up to the front of the plane.
You can come up behind us. Okay. If you can get me in there,
I think I might be able to land it, but I need a lot of help from the ground.
I can talk you down. I can talk you down. I did eight years ATC.
Okay. You did? Listen.
When you get me in there, you've gotta get ahold of the controls,
because if he does anything sudden, we don't have enough room,
to pull out of it. Okay? You gotta get him off the controls.
What the fuck is he doing? I don't know.
Okay, there's a pilot. We've got to get the pilot.
We have to do something, right? I mean, he's all over the place.
I understand.
We are alone up here.
Nobody is going to help us. We've got to do it. Okay?
Who is the pilot?
I don't know.
Hi, Mom, it's me.
I'm on the plane that's been hijacked.
I'm just calling to tell you
that I love you, and goodbye.
This really kind woman handed me the phone and she said to call you.
If I don't make it out of this alive, will you please promise that you'll call my family?
Thank you.
Just tell them I love them.
Tell my wife and my boys that I love them.
Here, take these. There's more. Pass these along. Here.
Who is the fucking pilot?
In the brown shirt.
Phil, Phil, it's me. I've been on a plane that's been hijacked.
Listen, a bunch of the guys have got together
and they said that we're gonna, like, try and take over the plane.
But, baby, I promise you, if I get out of this, I'm quitting tomorrow.
I'll quit tomorrow. I promise, I'll quit tomorrow.
And tell my babies I love them.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done On Earth as it is in heaven.
And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
I don't want to be here.
Baby, I don't want to be here. Baby...
We're gonna break into the cockpit, and we're gonna fly it.
No, it's gonna be okay.
I love you, too.
You guys, come on, let's go, let's go.
Come on, guys, what are we waiting for? Let's roll. Come on. Let's go already.
No messing around, boys.
We got no choice, no choice, no choice.
Oh, Jesus, let's go.
Get yourself going. Come on.
Hey!
Go!
Get the bomb! Get the bomb!
Saeed! Ziad!
Get the bomb! Get the bomb!
Get his thumb off the trigger! Get his hand, get his hand!
Get the bomb!
I got it! I got it!
It's a fake! It's a fake!
The bomb's a fake! It's a fake!
Forward!
Look out!
Son of a bitch! Come here, you!
God damn it!
Go, go, go!
No!
Get the knife! Get the knife! Grab his hand!
Get it!
Get the pilot!
No! No! Come on!
Get him up! Get him up! Come on, come on, you can do it.
Bring it up here!
Move it!
Move it! Come on, move it!
Shit.
If we don't get in there, we'll all die!
Ziad!
Move it!
Bring the pilot up!
Get him up! Grab his hands! Grab his hands!
Pull it up!
I can't pull! I can't!
