On September 11th, 2001, terrorists attacked the United States by hijacking commercial airliners and using them as guided bombs. Two planes crashed into the twin towers in NYC. Another plane crashed into the pentagon. The fourth hijacked plane, United Flight 93, never made it to its assumed destination of Washington DC.

Passengers and crew aboard Flight 93, fought to retake control of the plane. It crashed into a field, less than 30 minutes west of Bedford, PA.
