from,
but it came out
and he said it was...
He just heard it as
he was climbing out...
United 175?
United 175 heavy, yes.
And what about American 11?
American 11's still...
It's nothing.
He's just still
going slow, you know.
He might be going into Newark
or Kennedy or something,
I don't know.
You know, I have no idea.
CALLAHAN: Continental 1002,
Newark Tower. Good morning.
Why don't you try
the next one down?
An arctic fish.
How about "char"?
Ladies and gentlemen,
Captain Dahl.
As we make this turn,
those of you on the left side
of the airplane
have a beautiful view
of lower Manhattan and
the New York City skyline.
Looks nice out there.
Huh?
Looks nice out there.
What do you mean
there's no one there? Well,
you guys must have a backup.
Whatever information they got,
they got to give it to us
right away.
All right, good.
Hijack controller,
no one at the desk.
No backup.
Looks like
they're on vacation.
No backup?
There's no backup.
There's no one at the desk.
Who were you
talking to downstairs?
I'm talking to this guy.
He's in the conference room.
There's nobody else in there.
I'm relaying the information,
and then he's moving...
We got it. We got the tapes.
Boston Center
got the tapes pulled.
They said,
"We have some planes."
Hold on.
That's what he said,
"We have some planes."
That was the
suspicious transmission.
Was there
any voice recognition?
MAN: I'm tracking it.
SLINEY: Jesus Christ.
Med Express 77,
maintain 10,000.
The Kennedy altimeter's 2996.
Keep an eye on it. Now watch.
Delta 351, altimeter 2992.
Chilean 4369,
New York altimeter, 2996.
Paul,
what do you got?
Hey, Mike, how you doing?
American 11.
Possible hijacking
on American 11.
He's southbound, 767.
Nobody's talking to him.
I just called the room up
and let them know about it.
They're not tracking
him either, right now.
Where was
the target last time?
Last time it was tracked
in New York at Kennedy.
He's heading for the south.
American 11, New York.
What do you want me to check?
Target's gone.
Paul. Paul,
the target for
American 11 just disappeared.
Just disappeared where?
Right around Manhattan.
It just disappeared?
It was right there.
It just disappeared.
I was talking to
the other aircraft.
The target just disappeared.
Call Kennedy up. Find out
if they have it. We don't know
where American is, all right?
Call Kennedy tower up,
see if they have him
down there,
and call Newark tower
and see if they have
him there.
Okay.
What do we got, boys?
Anything?
All right, sir, you need me
to go ahead and start
a recall for you?
Yes, initiate that.
Okay, great.
What's the status with Otis?
Are those planes ready?
Foxy, what you got?
You got anything?
MCC, battle stations
call made 0838.
Otis attained
battle stations at 40.
08? Colonel, 0840,
slams at battle stations.
Otis at battle stations. Copy.
NASYPANY: Get me something.
Nothing's squawking.
MCC, Boston lost American 11.
They don't see him anymore
on their scopes.
They think maybe he went
below radar coverage.
They have no idea where he is.
We've got Otis.
Have the battle ready.
We need scramble authority.
MAN: Copy that.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Copy that.
Okay, let's get those
Otis birds in the air!
Scramble Otis!
This is Huntress
with an active air defense
scramble.
I repeat, active
air defense scramble.
Time is 0846.
I authenticate
November-November.
Greg, look at the
World Trade Center.
What?
Look at the Trade Center, man.
Bob, you see that?
Man, that's a lot of smoke.
TEPPER: I can't believe that.
Yeah, take a look
at the World Trade Center.
No, I have no idea.
I'm getting reports
from numerous aircraft
about smoke in Manhattan.
A lot of smoke.
A lot of smoke coming out
of the North Tower.
