United 93 Page #8

Okay. United 93, Cleveland.

If you hear the Center, ident.

I got you.

Hi, my name is Sandy Bradshaw.

I'm on United flight 93

from Newark to San Francisco.

The airplane has been hijacked

by three guys with knives.

One of them's got, like, a

bomb strapped around his waist.

How many did you guys see? Three.

She thinks there were three. You

were sitting in first class, right?

They said there were...

They saw three.

No, they stabbed

a first class passenger.

Thank you.

Did they answer?

What did they say? They

couldn't tell me anything.

They didn't tell you

anything at all?

It was just the maintenance

department.

I got through to United. I got

through on the maintenance line.

I told them that the plane was hijacked.

I mean, I don't know what else to say.

I don't know what to do.

He didn't tell us anything!

He's a maintenance guy!

No, no, no! You back!

You back! You back!

Okay.

Sit! You!

Ziad!

...you heard that also?

Yes, sir. Twice.

Roger. We heard that also. Just wanted

to confirm it wasn't from interference.

Victor, 956.

Victor, 956, go.

I wanted to answer your call.

We did hear that yelling, too.

Copy that.

I think we're turning.

Wait. We're turning.

Are we turning?

That means it's all right. It's okay...

We're gonna

go back to the airport.

They're going to ask for ransom. What?

I hope so.

In 1977 in Mogadishu, they

asked, you know, for money.

They will ask for ransom.

They will let us go.

We're going back

to the airport, all right?

We're going back

to the airport.

They're trained to deal

with this situation. Okay?

And they'll get us down on

the ground, all right? Okay?

I'm a pilot. I've been flying

all my life. But it's... I just...

What?

Something's wrong here.

We're okay.

Anybody know

where 77 is?

Cleveland Center was the

last one to talk to United 93.

Cleveland Center is the last

one who spoke to United 93.

But what about the military

response on this?

I'm talking to them now. I'm letting

them know where we are with this.

Listen, you got

to get somebody...

Where are they when

we need them?

...down the hallway

to talk to them.

They are supposed to be

liaisoning with the military.

And I've got this colonel here, he's

not giving me the answers I need.

We're giving you the best we can,

sir. The best information I've got.

We're trying to get this

CAP established over New York.

I don't give a sh*t

about the CAP!

Listen to me. I've got

a board full of planes.

American 77's missing! United

Where are those fighter

jets? Are they...

You've got to get them into position

to do something about these aircraft.

We've got Selfridge on

the command post right now.

They've got two jets that

can fly from Alpena right now.

Get them on frequency. Hand

them off to that. Copy that.

What do you got, Foxy?

What do you got?

We got two F-16s

out of Selfridge,

Chevy flight, airborne,

coming to our freq now.

They're unarmed, but that's

all we've got. Copy that.

We're gonna need more support

and I've got to know, sir.

When they get there,

what can they do?

...for a real world

military mission.

I understand it's

a commercial airliner, sir.

There will be casualties.

But what...

Think about what happens

if they hit the ground.

Think of what...

If they hit the Capitol, sir.

Go ahead, MCC.

Go ahead, go ahead.

We got two F-16s coming out of

Selfridge, but they're unarmed.

But how many more are out

there? That's the question.

We've got a report of at least

one more. May we engage?

I think

we shouldn't provoke them.

Just do what they want.

And then they'll land and let

us go and let the authorities...

Shouldn't somebody

try to talk to them?

the police, they'll

take care of them.

Give them

what they want.

Maybe we can

negotiate with them.

Quiet.

Just listen to me, sweetie, I

want you to call the authorities...

I'm calling from the Airfone.

You believe me,

don't you, Mom?

Did he stab him?

We got to go up there.

Just take us back

to the airport...

It's all right.

It's just us.

Let us see the passenger.

Just the passenger.

Richard, it's Jeremy.

I'm on the plane.

Let me talk to Lyzzie.

I'm on the plane.

Let me talk to Lyzzie.

Okay... You.

There's the passenger

he stabbed.

Okay. Okay.

Okay. We're just

checking the passenger.

Did you contact

the pilot?

No, nobody said anything. We

can't get through to the cockpit.

We can't get through.

Okay, okay, okay.

Sir, okay. Okay, sir.

We're United flight 93. We've been

hijacked. There's three men with knives.

One of them has a bomb

strapped around his waist.

See if he has a pulse.

Is he breathing?

No, there's nothing.

There's nothing.

Ahmed.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

You've got to come

back here. What is it?

Come back here, come back here. What?

Oh, my God. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Stewardess, what's happening

up there? What is happening?

This is awful. Listen...

What is happening?

Just... We're going back to the

airport. Everything's gonna be fine.

Call the pilot.

Listen...

I don't know.

We're just finding out

what we can find out.

Get back here. Get back here.

Listen, listen, listen.

Listen! The pilots

are on the ground.

That was the pilots. They're on

the ground outside the cockpit.

They're on the floor.

She saw the pilot what?

What? What did she say?

The stewardess just said the

pilots aren't flying the plane.

She saw two bodies in front

of the cockpit on the floor.

They said they saw the pilot

and the co-pilot on the floor.

Oh, Jesus.

Flight United 93, call in.

MCC? Cleveland is saying that

Delta 1989 is considered a hijack.

They're considering

Delta 1989 a hijack.

We got Delta 1989, suspected

hijack, heading west.

Hit me up every track.

Did you copy that, sir?

Two planes?

Yes.

This is a second plane,

sir, coming in.

We got the one going west out of Boston,

and American 11 coming into Washington.

We still got the

Selfridge planes, sir.

Yes, sir. These guys

are not armed.

These fighters are not armed,

and we could ram...

If we ram them and eject, sir.

Do we have the authority, though?

Just spoke to Cleveland, they said that

US Air 2619 was headed towards Chicago.

They've just evacuated

the Sears Tower.

Jesus Christ!

United 93 is now

reported as NORDO.

No transponder, and now heading

eastbound, over Cleveland.

Let me know what

the hell is going on.

Six miles southwest

of the White House,

Boston Center's tracking

a primary moving fast.

Call Dulles tower.

Give me this again.

Give me this again.

Can you get me some

verification on that?

Sir, we have a VFR aircraft

southwest of Washington,

headed straight in now.

Sir, I got another flight

coming up south.

We have a plane headed

toward the Capitol.

I got an unidentified plane...

Yes. I need to know about

the ROE. Can we engage?

I want you to give me a 30-mile

circle around Reagan National.
