keeping
their eyes open.
Okay, stand by, one second.
(SNAPPING FINGERS)
Dawne, go out and see
what Powell's
so excited about.
Yes, sir.
Powell,
what do you got?
Hey, I got a hijack
on the phone. Boston.
Is this a sim?
No, real world.
Come on, where's EET?
No, it's a no-shit hijack.
It's Boston.
Serious?
Yes.
All right.
Okay, thanks.
Well, okay,
give them a call.
Yeah, we have
a possible hijack.
General update.
Tell them we're ready here.
Okay?
Can do, sir.
Sir?
Yeah.
We have a real world
situation here.
We have
American Airlines
flight 11.
It's a 757 out
of Boston to LAX.
Ninety-two passengers on it,
and it's at 7500.
Still squawking?
No, sir.
Okay. Get Nasypany
to the floor!
All operational personnel
to the floor!
MAN ON P. A: Major Nasypany,
report to the operations
floor immediately.
All operations personnel
report to the ops room...
This is Colonel Marr here.
Get me General Arnold.
Here you go.
Folks, Captain Dahl
again with an update.
We're making
some progress now.
We're about number four
for departure.
I'll get with you
when we're number one.
Thanks for your patience.
We just want to take
your order for breakfast
after take-off.
You're gonna get it.
We have a hot breakfast,
which is, like,
an omelet, roll and fruit.
I'll take that. Thanks very much.
Okay, great.
I'm sorry for the delay.
We'll be out of here
as soon as we can.
I understand. Thank you.
Would you mind
bringing me some water
with my breakfast?
I have to take some pills.
Sure. No worries.
I'd just as soon stay out
of the more populated areas.
Well, here are the falls.
If we go up there, we'll be
all right. I'd like to get up
in that high country.
(PHONE RINGING)
Go ahead, sir.
MARR: Good morning, Major.
We got a possible hijack
in progress out of Boston.
American Airlines 757.
They're not squawking.
Let's find them.
Copy that.
All right, let's go.
Listen up, everybody!
All right, look,
we got a possible hijack.
This is real world.
Possible hijack.
Surveillance,
get your tracking techs
on scopes.
I want two on a scope.
Copy that.
I wanna know
if he pops up again.
ID, get on the phones
with the FAA. Let's get
his last known position.
Copy.
Weapons.
Otis to battle stations.
Copy that.
Do you have
a call sign or anything?
Battle stations. Copy.
American Airlines 11.
American Airlines 11
is the call sign.
Sir, it's confirmed.
And now
the aircraft is NORDO.
We get a lot of that crap.
Somebody's making
phony transmissions
on the radio...
If it's not confirmed,
it's probably a
lost radio call or something.
Command Center. Tony.
Stand by one second.
Yesterday, we had
two ground delay programs.
One at Atlanta
and one at O'Hare.
And we had 850
aircraft delayed.
Hit a 56-minute average
and a very modest
47,600 delay minutes.
Benny, that is like,
$2,000 a minute
we are talking about.
You are into
a hole already for...
No, no, no.
...90 million bucks, Ben.
They're not even my delays.
I started today.
Ben, we need you
on the floor.
We're getting more information
on that American 11.
Oh, all right. Listen,
excuse me, John...
Yeah.
...and, folks,
I'm gonna go out
and take care of this.
We're getting
some more updates
Okay.
and I'll brief you
as soon as I
get some more information.
What do you got?
American Airlines
contacted Boston Center.
Apparently, a flight attendant
onboard the aircraft
via telephone
called the company
and she said that
the aircraft is being hijacked
and one or more people
have been stabbed.
Stabbed on the plane?
Yeah. Just confirm...
American Airlines gave this
information to Boston
who called us.
Is the aircraft
still on course?
The last I heard.
Let's get an update
from Tony.
All right.
All right, stand by.
This is Boston
on the line right now.
Yeah.
They don't know anything more.
