The Flight That Fought Back

An account of the fourth plane hijacked on 11 September that never reached its target. Diverted by terrorists for a destination in Washington DC, United Airlines Flight 93's passengers and crew courageously subdued the hijackers, averting further disaster. With the two pilots dead and a bomb on board, recordings from the pilot's cabin and passengers' telephone messages to loved ones help to piece together the final moments.
