United 93 Page #2

Whether you are a frequent

flyer or a first-time traveler,

I urge you to put down

your reading materials

and pay attention to this

very important information.

Thank you, and welcome aboard.

United 93, ops.

Tail north.

Then clear to push.

Okay. Tail north.

Clear to push us. Start.

Okay, tail north.

Brakes released.

Cleared to push.

Yeah, good morning.

This is Rich Sullivan with the

We're updating

advisory number 23.

First issue, we're showing 15-minute

departure delays out of Newark.

Give us an update there.

I just spoke to Pete.

They're gonna try and get

those reduced or eliminated.

They're gonna get Washington

to reduce their restrictions,

so probably it'll clear up

in about a half hour or so.

Okay, we're gonna lessen the restrictions

or eliminate them on the Newark departures.

And the departure delays should

be coming down here very soon.

Next, we got a large-scale military

exercise off the East Coast today.

All the offshore routes

are gonna be closed at 1400.

All the traffic will have to be

moved inland. Any questions on that?

This is Jet Blue. Is Amber 761

available for offloads today?

Don't go for it.

No exceptions.

They're gonna have to wait.

No exceptions.

All the offshore routes

are gonna be closed.

Everyone's gonna be

moved inland. And that's it.

Anybody have anything else

for the morning plan?

Okay, we'll do

the next telcon at 1315.

Good job.

US Air 29, contact Boston

do you hear? Boston Center.

Hey, Greg?

Yeah?

Try American 11 again.

See if he's on your frequency,

if he came back to you.

American 11, Boston Center.

How do you read?

American flight 11,

Boston Center. Do you read?

There are also two window

exits located over the wings.

Each exit is marked

with a sign overhead.

Look around to locate the two

exits nearest to your seat.

In some cases, the nearest

exit may be behind you.

In an evacuation, exit path lights

will automatically illuminate

to guide you to an exit.

A life vest is located

under your seat.

It can be identified

by a red tab.

Do not remove it unless

directed by a flight attendant.

Taxi clearance.

Stand by.

Do me a favor, you got

that United 175 out there.

Can you have them take a look and see

if you can get a visual on American 11?

United 175, turn 20 degrees to

your left, vector for traffic.

In your turn, look for traffic 12

o'clock to 1 o'clock, about 15 miles.

He's tracking south-southwestbound.

Altitude's unknown.

It's an American 767. Let me

know if you get a visual on him.

Just be quiet and you'll be okay.

We are returning to the airport.

Call in Boston Center.

Say again, please.

Hey, John! Come here!

What's going on?

Aircraft, call in Boston.

Say again, please.

This guy here just contacted

me. I heard some verbiage

over the background. It was

not American, it was foreign.

They said something about

taking over the cockpit,

"Stay calm, we're going

back to the airport. "

I have no idea who it was. I think

we have a hijack situation here.

What makes you think

that's a hijacker?

Just trust me.

I heard the guy

in my ear, okay?

I heard the guy in my ear.

All right.

You need to check it out.

Command Center East. Tony.

Hey, Ben, we're doing a coffee

run. You want some coffee?

No, I'm filled up with coffee.

How are they doing on those

restrictions out of New York, Al?

Tell them they got them reduced. So La

Guardia, in fact, is now out of delays.

Newark's gonna

stay a while, though.

Good job. Good job. Excellent.

Excellent.

Rich, you need

to monitor this.

Yeah, let me take this stuff.

I got to get to the 8:30, so...

Command Center East. Toby.

Hey, Walsh.

Hey, Ben!

Ben, hang on.

Yes?

Listen, we're just getting a

preliminary report from Boston Center.

They think they've

got a hijacking.

A hijacking?

It's American 11.

A heavy 767.

Departed Boston for LA.

Where is he now?

He's about 50, 60 west

of Boston.

You got a squawk 7500?

No, I don't think so.

They heard some kind

of suspicious transmission,

so they're checking on it... All right.

It's very preliminary.

All right.

When you get some hard information,

let me know and I'll brief the staff.

Thanks.

Did someone say "hijack"?

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Good. Before we get started...

Well, that was a possible

hijack. American... What?

Yeah.

Hijack?

Anybody remember...

Haven't seen that in years.

Yeah, I know. When was the

last time we had a hijack?

It's been quite a while,

quite a while. '91, '90.

I can't even remember

precisely. Yeah, I know.

No, no. It's Boston to LAX, American 11.

Yeah, they're on it and

they're gonna keep me informed.

I'll brief you.

Okay.

Hey, ground. United 93.

What's our sequence?

United 93, follow

the Continental and Delta.

You're number 15 for the

departure. Monitor tower.

Air Canada 273,

turn left...

Well, folks, from

the flight deck, Captain Dahl.

Looks like we've run into a

little bit of rush hour traffic

here at Newark this morning, and

that's a typical day at Newark.

I count 15 airplanes

ahead of us for departure,

and they're getting them off

about one every two minutes,

so unfortunately it's gonna be

about a 30-minute delay

until we get airborne.

I apologize for the delay and

I appreciate your patience,

and I'll get back to you

with an update. Thank you.

Yes?

Is everything okay?

Yeah, it's just fine. Just

a normal delay out of Newark.

Excuse me, can I have a

pillow and a blanket, please?

What did you say?

Guys, just keep your

planes away from him, man.

I have no idea

what this guy's doing.

What do we have, Pete?

I gave all my aircraft

over to Greg already.

He's working them.

I'm holding onto this.

This guy right here

is the only guy I have.

He's westbound right now. I

heard some voices in my ears.

Flight 11, American

Airlines? But no 7500 code?

No, I had no 7500 code.

Nothing.

American 11, Boston Center.

American 11, how do you hear?

No, see, that

doesn't make sense.

What's up, Pete?

Where are we at?

I just put it up

into the speaker here,

if we hear anything back, but

right now we just have the guy.
