Analysis Of The Book ' The Hunt For Osama '

At 9:12 on Flight 77, staff and passengers contacted their family and friends and air traffic control that the plane had been hijacked. Approximately at 9:36, Secret Service agents evacuate the White House employees to the Presidential Emergency Operations Center. The reason they evacuated the White House is because the authorities were expecting that another hijacked plane was going to attack either the White House or the Capitol (9/11 MEMORIAL - September 11 Attack Timeline, pages 20, 22-23). At 9:37, hijackers crash Flight 77 into the Pentagon’s western facade, killing the fifty-nine on board the plane and one hundred twenty-five military and civilian personnel inside the Pentagon. This had been the third attack on the United States within fifty-one minute. To help the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) find the hijacked planes, they ground all flights over, or bound for, the continental United States. At approximately 9:59, after burning for a total of fifty-nine minutes, the South Tower collapses within ten seconds killing many rescue workers and responders (9/11 MEMORIAL - September 11 Attacks Timeline, pages 24-25,28). Around 10:15, the damaged section of the Pentagon’s outermost offices, known as the E ring, collapses. No on was injured.

At 8:46am United Airline flight #11 crashed right into floors 93-99 killing everybody on board and hundreds of people in the tower. And at 9:03am a second United Airlines plane crashed into the floors 78-84 of the second tower. Also on that day, a plane attacked

On September 11, 2001 four planes were hijacked by terrorists. After the hijacking, two of the airplanes were crashed into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center. The third one made impact with the West side of the Pentagon. The last airplane crashed into a field outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Through the

Four planes were used in the terrorist attempt to tear the nation apart. Five hijackers apprehended American Airlines Flight 11 and used that commercial airplane to crash into the North Tower in New York’s World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. At 9:03 a.m., five more hijackers overtook the pilots of United Airlines Flight 175 to fly into the South Tower. American Airlines Flight 77 was also seized by five terrorists and used to crash into the western side of the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. The Capitol or the White House was thought to be the fourth hijacked plane’s target. Because of the heroics of the passengers on United Airlines Flight 93, the plane was forced down in a rural field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03 a.m. Flight 93’s voice recorder showed that the passengers and crew tried to regain control from the hijackers. The people aboard that flight were informed of the attacks that took

The attacks were conducted on a Tuesday morning, September 11th, 2001. Flight 11 was crashed into floors 93-99 of the World Trade Center’s North Tower. United Airlines Flight 175 was hijacked and crashed into floors 77-85 of the South tower of the World Trade Center. 343 firefighters (FDNY) personnel were killed battling the blazes caused by the massive explosions of jet fuel. Later that morning, Flight 77 was crashed into the west section of the Pentagon, a major military operations center in Washington, DC.

The first building to get hit was the north Twin Tower. Soon after, at 9:06 in the morning, the south tower was hit. Before the second plane, people thought the plane crash was a mistake, but by the second plane they knew it was not a mistake. The third plane hit the Pentagon at 10:06 in the morning. The final plane, Flight 93, looked like it was headed to a nearby elementary school, but it crashed two miles away from the school.

A Boeing 767 containing approximately twenty thousand gallons of jet fuel flew into the North tower of the World Trade Center in New York City on a pristine morning at 8:45 a.m. on September 11, 2001. The collision left a giant opening close to the eightieth floor of the one hundred ten story skyscraper, abruptly ending hundreds of people’s lives and trapping hundreds more in the floors above. As the evacuation of the tower and its twin- the South Tower- got underway by the local authorities, television news channels broadcasted live images of what at first appeared to be a freak accident. Then, eighteen minutes after the initial plane crashed into the tower, a second Boeing 767–United Airlines Flight 175–appeared out of the sky, turned sharply

As the clock struck 8:46 am on September 11, 2001, the hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, instantly killing all aboard and hundreds inside the building. Minutes later, United Airlines Flight 175 flew sharply into the floors of the South Tower of the World Trade Center at 9:03 am, also leading those

At 8:46:30am, the F-15s have orders to fly, and take of at 8:54 for New York, unaware that it’s already too late, as Flight 11 hits the North Tower of the World Trade Centre 10 seconds before they scramble. Even when flight 11 does hit the tower, NORAD & NEADS still do not know that it was flight 11. If they were to try and find it, even if it was in the air, it would be a challenge because military radar was not set up to look for commercial aeroplanes, cause at the time they weren’t seen as a threat.

On September 11th 2001 at 8:46am tragedy struck in lower Manhattan as 2 hijacked Boeing 757 aeroplanes crashed into the world trade centres north and south towers in an act of terrorism carried out by Al-Qaeda.

The events of this day will forever be remembered by the people of the United States. American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the first tower of the World Trade Center at 8:47, and Flight 175 crashed into the second tower at 9:02. Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon at 9:41. About 20 minutes later flight 93 crashed in Shanksville(Sullivan). The first tower was hit between its 94th to the 98th floors. The second tower was hit between its 78th to the 84th floors(Dunbar and Reagan). Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon killing over 150 people. By the end

Lastly, the fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The flight that crashed was United 93. The hijackers intended to hit the white house, but passengers rebelled against the hijackers because they were concerned about the president's safety.(complex). Many passengers called family members to tell them what was happening. Forty people were killed in the crash. (simple)

It began on September 11, 2001, just before 9:00 am, The skies were clear, blue and the temperature was around a perfect 80 degrees. Five hijackers boarded American Airlines Flight 11 heading for Los Angeles, Ca. They crashed Flight 11 into the north side of World Trade Center Tower 1. A few minutes later from the same airport, Logan International airport, five hijackers boarded United Airlines Flight 175 heading toward Los Angeles, Ca also. The hijackers crashed Flight 175 into World Trade Center Tower 2. At about the same time from Washington Dulles International airport, five hijackers boarded American Airlines Flight 77 heading to Los Angeles, Ca. and it was crashed into the Pentagon. Thirty minutes after Flight 77 leaves Washington Dulles, four hijackers boarded United Airlines Flight 93 from Newark International airport to San Francisco, Ca. The four hijackers crashed near Shanksville, Pa. after the passengers fought the hijackers. Experts suggested that Flight 93 's target is believed to have been either the Capitol or the White House. Flight 93 's cockpit voice recorder revealed crew and passengers tried to seize control of the plane from the hijackers after learning through phone calls that Flights 11, 77, and 175 had been crashed into buildings that morning. Once it became evident to the hijackers that the passengers might regain control of the plane, the hijackers rolled the plane and intentionally crashed it.

The north tower was struck first at 8:45 a.m. by American Airlines Flight 11 out of Boston, Massachussetts, bound for Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The south tower was struck at 9:03 a.m.by United Flight 175. The third attack was at the Pentagon, which was only struck in one part of the building, but that section of the building collapased. American Airlines Flight 77 was the one to hit the Pentagon, at 9:37 a.m.. The fourth plane was United Airlines Flight 93, did not hit the intended target. Some say the last plane was headed for the White House, but nobody knows the truth. The last plane crashed in rural Pennsylvania, with everyone dying who was on

September 11, 2001, millions of New Yorkers and American citizens woke up and started their day, unprepared and unaware for the catastrophic attack that would be taking place in just a few short hours. At 8:46 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower. The impact killed all of the passengers and crew as well as hundreds inside the building. At 9:03 a.m., a second plane, Flight 175, crashed into the corner of the South Tower killing passenger, crew, and workers who worked on floors seventy-five to eighty-three. Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. killing approximately 185 individuals (History.com Staff). Because of the damaged to the support system, fires, and impact at extremely fast speed, the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. (Lipton and Glanz). Having heard about the acts of terrorism that had just taken place in New York and Washington, D.C., a group of passengers drove their plane, Flight 93, into a Pennsylvania field killing everyone on board but possibly saving hundreds of other lives in the process. The North Tower collapsed at 10:28 a.m. 102 minutes after being struck (History.com Staff). On September 11, 2001, almost twelve hundred people were wounded or killed by “coordinated suicide attempts” by Al Qaeda terrorists. In result to the four airplanes being hijacked and used for premediated reasons, the United States government instituted new regulations for entering the country and airport security as well as expounded on systems already in place.
