As I announced yesterday, I've created a section on AviationSafetyX's site (that will house historic aviation accidents/incidents/events. That section wouldn't be complete if I didn't address the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. This is the third report therein, the United Airlines' Flight 175 tragic flight into New York City's World Trade Center, South Tower. The Aviationist's multiple, relevant, articles are included.

Fatal Terrorist Attack (65 onboard; 600 on the ground/south WTC tower) - Boeing 767-222, N612UA, Flight 175, New York City's World Trade Center, South Tower, September 11, 2001

AviationSafetyX Summation:
United Airlines Flight 93, operated by a Boeing 767-222, became one of the defining symbols of courage during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Departing Newark International Airport at 8:42 AM ET, the flight was bound for San Francisco International Airport. It was hijacked by four al-Qaeda operatives who intended to use the aircraft as a weapon to strike a high-profile target in Washington, D.C. Despite the hijackers’ plans, the heroic actions of passengers and crew prevented the terrorists from reaching their intended target. Full report:Follow Us:
