Flight 93 (TV film)

Flight 93 is a 2006 television film, directed by Peter Markle, which chronicles the events aboard United Airlines Flight 93 during the Septemberattacks. It premiered on January 30, 2006 on the AampE Network and was rebroadcast several times throughout 2006.

When word of the planes hitting the World Trade Center reaches Flight 93, the Captain asks if this is true. Ahmed alNami assembles a fake bomb out of clay and plastic during breakfast, then the other three hijackers hold off the flight attendants, and wrestle their way into the cockpit and overpower the pilots, turning the plane around, which is now over Ohio, toward Pennsylvania. By this time, Flight 77 has crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. Footage of the South Tower collapsing in New York is also seen on TV at the home of one of the victims family.To the growing consternation of Ben Sliney and his staff, coordination with the Air Force is haphazard and there are not enough planes ready, or armed, to respond to an inair hijacking. Sliney ultimately decides to shut down all airspace in the United States and ground every flight. ........
