United Airlines Flight 93

A community portal about United Airlines Flight 93 with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: United Airlines Flight 93 was a regular flight from Newark International Airport in Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco International Airport, then continuing on to Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan, on a different aircraft. On September 11, 2001, the United Airlines Boeing 757-222, registered N591UA, was one of four planes hijacked as part of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It was the only one of the four planes that did not reach its intended target, instead crashing in an empty field just outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania, about 150 miles northwest of Washington, D.C. The 9/11 Commission determined that crew and passengers, alerted through phone calls to loved ones, had attempted to subdue the hijackers. The Commission concluded that the hijackers crashed the plane to keep the crew and passengers from gaining control. The Commission's official report states that co-pilot LeRoy Homer, flight attendants CeeCee Lyles and Sandra Bradshaw and passengers Todd Beamer, Mark Bingham, Tom Burnett, Andrew Garcia, Jeremy Glick, and Richard Guadagno, among others, fought back against the hijackers.

9/11

After posting my picks for the upcoming NFL weekend I realized that I had neglected something more important than sports. For 6 years now the United States military has been serving over seas. This is a direct result of what happened on this day in 2001. Because of the many views on what has expired I will leave my own political sense out of the article. I would, however, like to take a moment to look at what happened in New York, DC, and that empty field in Pennsylvania.
8:45 American Airlines Flight 11 crashes into the North Tower of the World Trade Center9:03 United Airlines Flight 175, a second plane, crashes.

Throughout the hours and minuutes that this timeline covers, 5 ships and 2 carriers were immediately manned by the men and women at Naval Air Station Oceana and Naval Base Norfolk.

Overall there were 2,974 fatalities. These included all the passengers on the flight, individuals inside the buildings, and the men and women of the emergency response units who fought to save the lives of all those involved in the attacks. Tonight take a moment to think about all of the people in the hijacked planes, reflect on the heroes who rose to the challenge and responded to the needs of other, and no more how you feel about the war be thankful that people are putting themselves in harms way for you and your country as they have been called to do.
Below is a list of all those who died on 9/11. We will continue to remember you and your families, and we thank you for your brave heart and unfortunate sacrifice. You are the true HEROES of the United States!
