Twenty five years ago at 10:03 am, United Flight 93 was crashed into a field after a struggle between four jihadis (from Lebanon and Saudi Arabia) and a group of passengers and flight attendants that included at least Todd Beamer, Mark Bingham, Tom Burnett, Jeremy Glick, and CeeCee Lyles.
The last portion of the CVR transcript, which ends with “Allahu Akbar”:
A visit to the United Flight 93 crash site (a year ago)
As I noted then, RIP especially to the crew: Lorraine Bay, Jason Dahl, Sandra Bradshaw, Wanda Green, LeRoy Homer Jr., CeeCee Lyles, and Deborah Welsh. Airline crews enable us to live richer lives by assuming a higher level of risk every day than those of us who earn our wages by flying desks.
Thank you for this post.
