الملخص

This was one of four related attacks that occurred in the United States that are known collectively as the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks. In the fourth of these attacks, occurring at 10:03 am local time, United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757 passenger airplane, crashed en route from Newark, New Jersey to San Francisco, California. The plane crashed in a rural area of Pennsylvania near the town of Shanksville following a struggle for control of the plane between the passengers and four hijackers. Forty-four people, including 33 passengers, seven crew members, and four hijackers were killed in the crash. Six first responders were injured. Al-Qaida leaders including Osama bin Laden and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed claimed responsibility for the attacks in multiple videotaped interviews. Mohammed indicated in a 2002 interview with the Doha-based Al Jazeera News Network that the intended target of Flight 93 had been the United States Capitol Building located in Washington, DC.
