Believed to be heading for Washington DC, the plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania miles away from its target. Jere Longman, a New York Times journalist, reconstructs the story of the flight on a technical level, as well as on a personal level, profiling the passengers, the captain, the co-pilots and the hijackers. It pays special tribute to four men in particular: Mark Bingham, Thomas Burnett, Jeremy Glick and Todd Beamer. From calls made to their loved ones, we know that these men had learned of the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon and had formed a plan to overcome the terrorists to prevent another such disaster. Bringing together all available material, including interviews with eye witnesses, phone calls, the captain's tape and the plane's black box, Longman reveals what went on aboard the fated plane. *** Quantity Available: 1.
