'America Is Under Attack': Remembering 9/11 22 Years Later

Spencer Brown | September 11, 2023 6:35 AM

September 11, 2001, began as a morning like any other crisp, early fall day in the Northeast United States. But by the time the sun set over New York, Washington, and Somerset County, Pennsylvania, the entire world had changed. After the dust settled, fires were extinguished, and all was counted, 2,977 innocent lives had been stolen by Al Qaeda terrorists.

At 7:59 a.m. American Airlines Flight 11 scheduled from Boston Logan International Airport to Los Angeles International Airport takes off with 92 people on board.

A few minutes later, United Airlines Flight 175 departs Boston Logan with 65 people on board at 8:14 a.m., also en route to Los Angeles.

By 8:19 a.m., flight attendant Betty Ong on American 11 notifies her base that her flight has been hijacked:

"The cockpit’s not answering; somebody’s been stabbed in business class—and I think there’s mace that we can’t breathe. I don’t know. I think we’re getting hijacked."

Ong continues to inform American Airlines on the hijacking for the next 26 minutes while AA employees alert and update the FBI.

A minute later at 8:20 a.m., American Airlines Flight 77 departs Virginia's Dulles International Airport with a destination of Los Angeles and 64 people on board.

At 8:25 a.m., flight attendant Amy Sweeney aboard American 11 also calls American Airlines to report that her flight has been hijacked, a first class passenger was killed, two flight attendants were stabbed, and the crew is unable to reach the cockpit. Along with fellow crew member Betty Ong, Sweeney reports the seat numbers of the hijackers.

It took until 8:40 a.m. for the FAA to notify the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) of reports that Flight 11 had been hijacked.

Around the same time, at 8:41 a.m., United Airlines Flight 93, carrying 44 people, departs Newark International Airport bound for San Francisco International Airport after being delayed nearly 30 minutes.
