Synopsis

The passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 on September 11, 2001 have earned their rightful place among the pantheon of American heroes. Flight 93 provides a riveting narrative based on interviews, oral histories, transcripts, recordings, personal tours of the crash site, and voluminous trial evidence made public only in recent years. There also is plenty of chilling new detail for readers who think they know the story of the flight. Utilizing research tools that were not available in the years immediately after the crash, the book offers the most complete account of what actually took place aboard United 93 – from its delayed takeoff at Newark International Airport to the moment it plunged upside-down at 563 miles per hour into an open field in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania.

A well written and detailed book that was hard to read at times. This made me cry a few times, reliving that tragic day in America. In 2017 I visited the memorial in Shanksville. The park is a perfect memorial to honor the 40 passengers who became American heroes on 9/11/01. The beautiful landscape......more

Goodreads review by Joshua on July 16, 2023

I bought this book almost 10 years ago when the author came to my college and signed copies after a PR session to promote the book and just got around to reading it. I was 6 years old during 9/11 and living in NW PA, in the flight path of Flight 93. I didn’t know that then of course, but I do have m......more

Goodreads review by Hannah on April 10, 2024

This was such a moving book. It gave back story for the people who were killed that day in the plane crash in Shanksville, PA. It also gave back story to the terrorists. It explains how long they prepared and what they did to get ready for that day. They felt loyal to Allah and thought they were doi......more

Goodreads review by Andrea on February 28, 2025

I am eternally grateful for the insights and words McMillan provided in this book. It was well researched and written in such a way that made me emotionally exhausted from the retelling of the story and the memories it evoked. I truly could only read a chapter or two without having to step away for......more
