THEY STILL THINK
IT'S A HEART ATTACK.
CAN YOU TELL US
ANYTHING MORE
ABOUT THE HIJACKERS?

Newscaster: WE HAVE NEWS
OF A TRAGIC EVENT.
APPARENTLY, AN AIRPLANE HI THE WORLD TRADE CENTER
AT THE TIP OF MANHATTAN.
THERE IT IS.
Second newscaster:
AND YOU'RE LOOKING
AT A LIVE PICTURE.
THE PLANE HI ONE OF THE TOWERS
NEAR THE TOP
OF THE BUILDING.
HERE'S ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE.
NOW IT LOOKS LIKE...
Third newscaster:
...DEBRIS ALL OVER,
SMOKE IS BILLOWING
FROM THE TOP 10 OR SO
FLOORS OF THE TOWER.
I WOULD ASSUME THA IT'S BEING EVACUATED.
MOM?
IN HERE!
NOW WE'RE TRYING
TO FIND OU WHAT TYPE OF AIRCRAF COLLIDED...
Fourth newscaster:
...THEIR OFFICES.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS
RESPONDING TO THIS EVENT,
WHICH HAPPENED AROUND
8:45 THIS MORNING,
AND WE HAVE SO FAR NO 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.
PLANE'S CIRCLE THIS AREA
AS THEY WAIT IN ROTATION
TO LAND AT NEWARK.
ALTHOUGH,
HOW AN AIRCRAFT COULD HI ONE OF THOSE MASSIVE TOWERS
ON SUCH A CLEAR DAY,
IT'S VERY HARD TO COMPREHEND.
HI, THIS IS
MELODY HOMER.
I JUST WANTED
TO SEND A MESSAGE
TO MY HUSBAND,
LEROY HOMER, VIA ARCS.
HE'S FIRST OFFICER
ON FLIGHT 93.
Man: UH, 93, OK.
UH, THINGS ARE PRETTY HECTIC.
THAT FLIGHT IS PROCEEDING
NORMALLY, THOUGH.
[SIGHS]
I CAN TAKE
YOUR TRANSMISSION NOW.
HI, HON.
I JUST WANTED
TO MAKE SURE
YOU WERE OK.
MELODY.
[BEEPS]
NEW YORK TERMINAL.
TERMINAL, CAN YOU
HELP US TRACK A PLANE
THAT'S STRAYED OFF PATH?
WE'VE LOST TRANSPONDER.
OK, YEAH, I GOT A TARGE THAT KEEPS COASTING.
OK, GOT 'EM AGAIN.
HE'S OVER STATEN ISLAND.
DO YOU KNOW WHO HE IS?
NO, HE'S TRACKING
TOWARDS MANHATTAN.
HE'S MOVING FAST.
LOOKS LIKE YOU GO ANOTHER ONE COMING IN.
[BEEPING]
Newscaster: THE PLANE
HIT THE NORTH TOWER
OF THE WORLD TRADE...
THERE!
THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!
WE JUST SAW ANOTHER ONE.
YES, WE JUST SAW ANOTHER PLANE
APPARENTLY GO INTO...
Second newscaster:
...HITTING THE SOUTH TOWER.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
A HUGE FIREBALL
FROM THIS EXPLOSION.
THAT WOULD BE THE SECOND...
Third newscaster: 2 PLANES.
THIS RAISES, UM...
THIS HAS TO BE
DELIBERATE, FOLKS.
HERE YOU ARE.
WOULD YOU LIKE
COFFEE OR TEA?
TEA.
TEA.
WOULD YOU LIKE
SOME COFFEE OR TEA?
SOME COFFEE WOULD
BE GREAT, THANK YOU.
SURE.
CAN I GET YOU
ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?
NO, THANK YOU.
Stewardess: SOME TEA?
Newscaster:
THE SECOND PLANE
HIT AT 9:03...
Girl: CAN I HAVE
SOME MORE JUICE?
THE PEOPLE WERE
ALREADY AT THEIR DESKS.
WHAT'S THE WORD
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, MADISON?
PLEASE?
...THE FIRES SPREADING
TO OTHER FLOORS.
YOU KNOW, FIGHTING A FIRE...
I'M HUNGRY.
OH, ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GET YOU
SOMETHING TO EAT.
...IT'S DIFFICUL TO CONTAIN THE FIRE.
THIS IS A HUGE TRAGEDY,
ALMOST INCOMPREHENSIBLE.
UNDOUBTEDLY, THIS IS
TERRORIST RELATED,
BUT WE CAN ONLY GUESS AS
TO WHO IS BEHIND THIS.
IS THAT A FIRE, MOMMY?
YES, IT IS.
DRINK YOUR JUICE
AND DON'T WATCH
THE TV, GIRLS.
Madison: IS IT A MOVIE?
Mother: NO.
IT'S POSSIBLE
THEY WERE IN CONTROL.
DRINK.
THEY MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE
TAKEN OVER THE PLANE
ONCE IT WAS IN THE AIR.
IT'S A SUNNY, CLEAR DAY,
SO VISIBILITY WOULD
NOT BE A PROBLEM.
Girl: I NEED SOME PAPER.
GIRLS, WATCH
YOUR LITTLE SISTER.
I'LL BE BACK
IN A MINUTE.
THERE'S A MESSAGE
FROM YOUR WIFE.
IN A MINUTE. WE'RE COMING
ON CLEVELAND CENTER.
TOMORROW'S
MY ANNIVERSARY.

HOW MANY YEARS?

THE QUESTION IS,
CAN ANYBODY FLY A PLANE?
THAT'S PARAMOUNT.
I CAN FLY
A SINGLE-ENGINE.
Alice, on phone:

Deena: THEY THINK THA 5 PLANES HAVE BEEN HIJACKED,
AND THEY BELIEVE
THAT ALL OF THEM

I HAVEN'T HEARD THEM
SAY ANYTHING ABOU WHICH AIRLINE,
BUT, UH, ALL

ON THE EAST COAST.
DO YOU KNOW
WHO'S INVOLVED?
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
THAT FOR CROWD CONTROL.
OK, A PLANE CAN 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 GONNA

YOU CAN SEE THE SOUTHWES SIDE OF THE BUILDING
ENGULFED IN SMOKE.
THIS IS THE THIRD AIRPLANE

THEY ARE ALL BELIEVED TO
HAVE BEEN COMMERCIAL JETS

BY HIJACKERS...
WHAT SHOULD WE DO,

THIS IS A SUICIDE MISSION.
