September 11, 2001Hijackers attack the United States. Four passenger jet airliners were hijacked, and two of them were used to attack the World Trade Center. Other possible targets were the Pentagon, the White House, and the United States Capitol Building.
These terrorists committed suicide to carry out their plot to kill as many Americans as possible in the 9-11 attack.
The last plane didn’t make it to it’s target. At 10:10 a.m. Flight 93 went down in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Skeptical Americans say that Flight 93 was shot down by the U.S. Air Force, blaming the government for killing American citizens. Or they claim it was all a hoax.
It was not shot down, and it was not a hoax. The passengers fought back.
Although the crew of Flight 93 was not able to take control of the plane, they saved countless lives with their effort.(Where the flight went down)
In a panic passengers started calling loved ones, saying their last good byes, while Todd Beamer, one of the men who lead the attack against the hijackers, called air traffic controller Lisa Jefferson. Bowers: What do you think that this country needs to know about the men and women who were on board Flight 93? Jefferson: They're all heroes in my eyes. They really are. They all pitched together and they did what they thought was the best thing to do at that time. And I feel that Todd played a great role in that because when he told the guys, "Are you ready?", I assume that they were waiting on his cue. Then they responded to him, and he said, "Okay, Let's Roll."

Todd Beamer’s words inspired Americans. They still do today.
The passengers of Flight 93 led the first attack against terrorism that day. They didn’t cower, they fought against the odds and saved many other Americans with their deed that day. For that we will always be grateful.
This man planned the attacks. His hate for America made him think that Americans would break down and become weak after the 9-11attacks. He was wrong.
