do? Get in touch with the NYPD.

See if they have any information on

what caused that in the Trade Center.

Look at the size

of that explosion.

...Sean, you're on the air right

now. What can you tell us about...

And, folks, Captain Dahl.

We've reached our cruising

altitude of 35,000 feet

and I'm going ahead and turn

the "Fasten Seat Belts" sign off.

That is your signal you are

safe to move about the cabin.

We got

the seatbelt sign off.

However, when you

are in your seats

I'll ask you to keep your

seatbelts loosely fastened,

as you never know when we'll get

some bumps we're not expecting.

Our flying time today again

is 5 hours and 25 minutes,

and in spite of that short

delay back there in Newark

I'm still projecting an on-time

arrival in San Francisco.

I'll update you on the weather

as we get a little closer.

In the interim now, I'll

ask you to sit back and enjoy

the outstanding service

of our fine flight attendants.

If there's anything we in the cockpit

can do to make your ride more enjoyable,

please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you.

Hey, can I get

a copy of the manifest?

Oh, sure.

Thanks.

Here you go.

I appreciate it.

Yeah, no problem.

Looks pretty good, huh?

I love these light loads.

I do, too.

I knew you were gonna

say that, so I've planned.

We've got...

We have reservations there.

And there.

Fedex 7852, we heard it was a small

plane that hit the World Trade Center.

That's the last that we heard. Roger.

Eagle 755, you contact

departure on 126.8.

I gave you that Eagle 755

also, okay? Another one?

Yeah, Eagle 755.

Toggle 9445, you contact

approach on 120.8.

Chris, I need you to take

this one also. Got it.

Hey, Dave, you got an untracked

target five miles east of Allentown.

Thank you.

United 175, I need you to reset

your transponder squawk 2374.

United 175, New York.

You read the radio?

Call American 11 again.

I'll try him again.

Paul, neither airport had one.

Maybe... He must've landed.

Newark heard nothing from him,

Kennedy heard...

Try the towers again.

I'll try again.

He's gotta be somewhere.

He's gotta go somewhere.

United 175, New York.

If you read the radio, ident.

Traffic's 9 o'clock and seven.

Southwestbound Delta

Boeing 73, same altitude.

United 175, New York.

United...

Paul, United. I think we got another one.

The guy has dropped his transponder off.

United 175, New York.

He's out by Allentown.

United 175.

Thumbser.

If you have United 175, you need to

switch him back to... The traffic room.

No, I'm not talking to him.

I'm not talking to him. I know.

Delta 2433, stand by.

I can't take

any more airplanes.

He's busy enough. We'll take

care of it. We'll take care of it.

We'll take care of it.

They're standing by, right now.

Watch that Delta 2315. He's aimed

right at him. The same altitude.

He's starting to get

close to him. You see that?

Please.

Give me a chance to work.

Just stay back!

Just give me a chance

to work here, all right?

United 175, New York,

if you read the radio,

you have traffic at your 9 o'clock

and four miles southwestbound,

same altitude.

It's a Boeing 73.

I'm telling you this is

another hijack. I'm telling you.

United 175, traffic is your

Jesus.

Do you have that Delta?

Delta! Delta 2315,

traffic 2 o'clock!

Five miles,

southeastbound, 757.

Traffic, three miles.

Turn him. Turn him.

Turn to one and a half.

Heading southeastbound.

No distance!

He's right on top of you!

I'm telling you right now.

This is another hijacking.

Delta 2315, he's right on top

of you. This is a hijacking.

Delta 2315,

you still there?

That's a roger, New York. We

are clear. Delta 2315. Over.

Paul, he just went

behind him.

Holy sh*t.

Good. Good.

Good job, sir. Good job.

She was sitting inside her apartment,

and she looked up and saw the side

of the World Trade Center...

All right. Thank you much.

...explode into flames

and black smoke.

Excuse me.

If they hijacked them...

New York Center says they got confirmation

that it was a commercial airliner

that hit the Trade Center.

Well, that's it.

That was American 11.

It had to be American 11.

What the hell is going on? But

how could he hit the building?

I mean, why would he hit the building?

Even if it is American 11, why...

It's clear and fifty. You don't

get a pilot flying a plane...

Either they're gonna

ditch it in the Hudson...

They're not gonna do this.

There's no way. No way.

Jesus, how many people

are in that building?

Ben? Ben?

I'm sorry, New York Center

wants you on the phone right now.

Yeah. Yes, New York.

Wait a minute, hold on. They

think they got another hijack,

and it's headed for New York.

Another one?

We got another hijack?

All right, United 175.

Get him up on there.

How many people

are in that building?

Where is

that military liaison?

Can somebody help us out?

We need some help here.

We're trying to get

the military involved.

We can't get anybody

at headquarters.

All right, listen, you take care of your

house, we'll take care of this business.

Okay. Let me know

if anything else develops.

United 175, and it's headed

straight for New York.

United 175, New York.

United 175.

United 175, New York.

United 175 here. This guy's

at, like, 10,000 feet a minute,

and he's still going down.

I heard. I heard.

United 175, New York.

This guy's dropping like

a manhole cover now, Paul.

He's still descending

eastbound towards New York.

This aircraft is going down,

I'm telling you right now.

Call the military up.

Find out where they are. Okay.

Are you listening to me?

This guy is going straight down

into the ground, I'm telling you.

He's not answering me.

We're not talking to him.

He's descending.

It's like 6,000 to

Dave, you still not talking

to that guy? No, I'm not.

He's going right through

everybody else's traffic.

The target's gone. It's gone.

The target's gone.

The target's gone.

We don't have him anymore.

We just lost him.

All right, hold on. Hold on.

I got a primary on a target.

Where? He's rapidly descending.

Can you see that right here?

He's coming down quick, yeah.

Can you see that?

Well, who is it?

I don't know.

You see him

out the window?

I don't know.

Is he out there?

Yeah, descending rapidly.

No, there he is.

There he is.

Where? Right there. Over

the Verrazano Bridge.

Oh, yeah.

Look how fast he's going.

No, he's going right up

the Hudson River center.

Oh, my God.

Jesus! Sh*t!

What?

How does he do that?

There was then an

explosion inside... Damn it!

The building's exploding right now!

You got people running up the street!

I don't know

what the hell is going on.

Did you see that?

Did you see that, sir?

I'll have

to call you back.

Oh, my God.

American, stand by.

Holy sh*t!

Jesus Christ.

Be advised there's a major

incident over New York right now.

Shawna, what do you got?

What do you got, Shawna?

Boston said that...

Boston just said they have another
