United Airlines Flight 93 was a regular flight from Newark International Airport now known as Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco International Airport, then continuing on to Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan, on a different aircraft. On September 11, 2001, the United Airlines Boeing 757-222, registered N591UA, was one of four planes hijacked as part of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It was the only one of the four planes that did not reach its intended target, instead crashing in an empty field just outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania, about 150 miles 240 km northwest of Washington, D.C.

The mission through testimony, tapes of passengers phone calls, and the flight data recorders recovered from the crash determined that crew and passengers, alerted through phone calls to loved ones, had attempted to subdue the hijackers. mission concluded that the hijackers crashed the plane to keep the crew and passengers from gaining control.

missions official report states that passengers and crew members fought back against the hijackers. The other three planes hijacked on September 11, 2001 were American Airlines Flight 11, United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines Flight 77.

Unlike the other three flights, four, not five, hijackers were on board Flight 93: The hijackers were reported to be: Of these, Ahmed al-Haznawi was the only hijacker selected on United Airlines Flight 93 by CAPPS. His checked bags underwent extra screening for explosives, with no extra scrutiny required by CAPPS at the passenger security checkpoint.[1] The plane was a Boeing 757-222 on a morning route from Newark International Airport now known as Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey, near New York City, to San Francisco International Airport near San Francisco, California EWR-SFO.

It had 182 seats but was carrying only 37 passengers 33 regular passengers and four hijackers and seven crew members: two pilots, the captain Jason M. Dahl and his first officer, LeRoy Homer; and five flight attendants.

Because one passenger had booked two seats, some early accounts say there were actually 38 passengers on board. The four hijackers were seated in first class.

The aircraft was scheduled to depart at 8:00 a.m. but did not lift off until 8:42 due to routine heavy morning traffic.[2] Had the flight departed on time, it would likely have been hijacked around the same time as the other flights, and there is little chance the passengers would have had time to organize a revolt.

By 9:02 a.m., the aircraft reached its cruising altitude of 35,000 feet.[3] At 9:24 a.m. Flight 93 received from flight dispatch the warning Beware any cockpit intrusion—two ac [aircraft] hit World Trade Center.

At 9:26 a.m. the pilot asked for confirmation of the message.

That was the last time flight dispatch heard from Flight 93. At about 9:28 a.m., after both towers of the World Trade Center had already been hit, air traffic controllers in Cleveland Center overheard the pilot Jason Dahl yelling Get out of here, along motion and possibly screaming from the cockpit.[3] A voice, likely forty seconds later, more screams were heard.
