Flight 93
About “Flight 93”:
United Airlines Flight 93 was an American domestic passenger flight from Newark International Airport in New Jersey to San Francisco International Airport in California that was hijacked by four al-Qaeda terrorists on the morning of September 11, 2001, as part of the September 11 attacks. The hijackers attempted to crash the plane into a federal government building in Washington, D.C., but the attack was thwarted due to a revolt by passengers and crew members attempting to regain control. This forced the terrorists to crash the plane into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, killing all 44 aboard the flight.
