On September 11th, 2001 four planes would be hijacked in what would become a strategic and symbolic disaster for the United States. The first three planes would be flown into landmarks of American power. But the last plane would never reach its target. United Airlines Flight 93 was the flight that fought back.

The events described and shown are historically significant, and this educational documentary acts as a comprehensive and respectful recollection of those events based on primary source material. All of those sources are freely available on the channel's Patreon page and I highly recommend you check them out as there are also contextual footnotes.

This documentary is not about the hijackers or their political and/or religious affiliations. If you want to dig into the sociopolitcal context, there're plenty of additional reading materials within the citations. Finally, please note that this video does not show graphic imagery or use graphic descriptions, and no footage of the attacks or their aftermath is shown in any capacity. Again, that imagery is freely available online should you wish to view it.

Correction:

07:52 This should be CAPPS, not TSA. The Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System (CAPPS) was a terrorism countermeasure designed to flag certain passengers for additional scrutiny (among other things).
30:54 The voice here is almost definitely that of Chris Tucker, not Dave Bottiglia, hence the change in voice. I initially misinterpreted the 9/11 Staff Report (2004, page 5), which states that it was Dave who "spent the next several minutes handing off the other flights on his scope to other controllers and moving aircraft out of the way of the unidentified aircraft (believed to be Flight 175)". Dave's own declassified memorandum (2003) also corroborates this. However, Chris has given multiple public accounts of his actions that day in which he describes performing these same tasks and identifies the voice as his own.
1:00:09 Again, I'm using TSA incorrectly here to mean "airport security".
