The 9/11 Attack on the Pentagon
Drive Thru History with Dave Stotts: in this clip from our American Holiday show, lean and never forget the tragic events of 9/11 with Dave.
September 11, 2001 was a warm, sunny day in Washington, D.C., just as it was in New York City and all along the Eastern Coast. That morning, five terrorists passed through security at Dulles International Airport and boarded American Airlines Flight 77 bound for Los Angeles. At 8:20 am, the Boeing 757 took off with 64 people on board -- a crew of six plus 58 passengers, including the hijackers.
The last radio communication with Flight 77 occurred about 30 minutes later. It seems the hijackers made their move and took control of the plane somewhere over eastern Kentucky. With one hijacker as pilot, the other four kept guard over the passengers.
