hijacked aircraft. United 175.

Copy that.

We've got another hijack.

We've got two hijacks.

Are they...

Does Boston... Is...

Get on with FAA.

Who was that?

There's no confirmation, sir.

MCC, we need our planes

over Manhattan.

We need those Otis birds

over Manhattan now.

You got it! All right,

weapons! Weapons!

You want any sugar

in your coffee?

I'm fine for now, thanks.

What would you like to

drink? I'm glued to this.

Coffee or juice?

Yeah, I'll take some coffee. Hi, guys.

You know, I'm gonna serve

you guys after first,

'cause there's only six,

if that's okay.

It was a beautiful take-off.

So you're still okay

with the hot?

All right, well, then, we'll bring

you something to drink after that.

Yeah, it's like football with

no padding. Here you go, sir.

Hope you all enjoy this.

And I'll be

And here we go. All right.

Why don't we turn

this around? Thank you.

If you could help me.

Thank you.

Yeah, that would be great. Thank you.

Thanks a lot.

Enjoy.

New York Center wants everything stopped

going to their airports and through...

All right, Tony, issue a

ground stop for New York Center.

Nothing goes

into New York Center.

Got it. At least the

first tier on that. Yeah.

In fact... Hey, you know what?

Let's stop Boston, New York,

and then maybe

stop Washington, too.

Yeah, whatever's necessary.

Just get them stopped now.

I don't want any more planes

on their frequency taking off.

Boston, we have

no confirmation...

Copy type and tail.

Foxy!

I'm hearing about another

hijack. Keep your ears open.

Too much traffic.

We can't get the clearance.

That's not acceptable.

They're not giving it to us.

If you need to, get on the line

and get the clearance for them,

but don't take that from them.

Where are those Otis planes?

Are we over Manhattan yet?

What's going on? MCC.

What's the status

on Otis, Foxy?

We're still trying

to get a clearance, sir.

We're getting no clearance from the

FAA to get those birds over Manhattan.

What do you want

me to tell weapons?

Screw the FAA.

Send those Otis planes now.

Get them over Manhattan.

He says forget about the FAA. Get

those birds over Manhattan now.

You have kids?

Yeah, I do.

She's finally beginning to settle

My anniversary's coming up, I'm taking

my wife to London for a couple days.

Well, that should be good. Yeah,

I've been to London a couple times.

You know,

we're gonna do the usual.

A little sightseeing, do a couple

plays and just kind of get away.

I've got Otis in the air,

and two more at Langley.

Four planes.

That's all I've got.

I'm gonna need some support.

I'm gonna need more planes.

I've got Otis headed to Manhattan

No, I sent them anyway.

Right now, Langley's sitting

at battle stations, sir.

Copy that.

Okay. MCC!

Boston is telling us American

What? American 11 is still in the air.

We don't know who

those planes are.

American 11 is still flying?

Headed towards Washington.

God damn it!

All right, surveillance, we got American

Let's go. I want you to light up every

track south of New York over Jersey.

Colonel. Colonel.

Hang on. Hang on, sir.

Yes, go, MCC.

Boston is saying

that American 11

is heading towards Washington now.

That it's not one of the flights

that went into the Trade Centers,

but it's heading towards Washington.

We gotta scramble those

Langley birds right now.

What the f***?

Hold on, sir.

Scramble Langley. Scramble

Langley to Washington.

Scramble Langley, weapons. Copy that.

Scramble them to

Washington. Scramble Langley.

No, we just got a report. We're

Bad stuff from the FAA all around. They

just told us that 11 was still flying.

We thought 11

went into the tower.

All parties acknowledge

with initials. Command posts.

Tower. Approach. Giant Killer.

Gentlemen, gentlemen!

Here's what I want.

I want you to contact

all the centers.

I want to know about any aircraft

that they deem suspicious.

There's NORDO or lost transponder,

off-course, change altitude.

And let's get it on that board down

there and start sharing this information.

Particularly

with the military.

Where is that

military liaison?

Go get him. Yeah, tell him

I need to speak to him now.

Indy Center just called.

They're missing an American 77.

They lost it 25 minutes ago.

It deviated off...

American 77.

American 77. Out of Indianapolis Center.

They said that he lost his

transponder after he turned off-course.

We got an American 77 out of

Dulles, lost the transponder.

All right, I need... I want last-known

position, speed and altitude.

I want it in his track. I want

to know where he's heading.

We just had two

go into the city.

And, you know, anything is suspect now,

especially if he's heading toward the city.

I need last-known

position and track.

All right, do you know

who that second airplane was?

Okay. If you find out,

let me know.

Boston's tracking

another one, Delta 1989.

He's another

Boston-to-LAX, 767.

Right now he's on course.

They are talking to him, but they're

very concerned about that flight

because it's the exact same

profile as these last two.

All right, so listen, fellas. I want you

to get a ground stop out across the nation.

I don't want anybody else

coming into our airspace.

How many have I got

airborne now? 4,000 or 5,000.

Huh?

Between 4,000 and 5,000.

All right, no more departures

anywhere. You got that?

Call Boston. Call Cleveland.

No more departures.

Copy. Boston-to-LA and that's

Delta 1989, suspected hijack.

Eagle flight 248, contact

Cleveland Center, 134.6.

John, there's a suspected hijack

from Center at Boston, all right?

I need you to confirm

when you can, all right?

Let me know if

you hear anything. Delta 1989.

I'll let you know.

Soon as I can.
