United Airlines Flight 175 was scheduled to depart for Los Angeles at 8:00. Captain Victor Saracini and First Officer Michael Horrocks piloted the Boeing 767, which had seven flight attendants. Fifty-six passengers boarded the flight.40
United 175 pushed back from its gate at 7:58 and departed Logan Airport at 8:14. By 8:33, it had reached its assigned cruising altitude of 31,000 feet. The flight attendants would have begun their cabin service.41
The flight had taken off just as American 11 was being hijacked, and at 8:42 the United 175 flight crew completed their report on a suspicious transmission vancouver island bc whale watching tours overheard from another plane (which turned out to have been Flight 11) just after takeoff. This was United 175 s last communication with the ground.42
The hijackers attacked sometime between 8:42 and 8:46.They used knives (as reported vancouver island bc whale watching tours by two passengers and a flight attendant), Mace (reported by one passenger), and the threat of a bomb (reported by the same passenger). They stabbed members of the flight crew (reported vancouver island bc whale watching tours by a flight attendant and one passenger). Both pilots had been killed (reported by one flight attendant).The eyewitness accounts came from calls made from the rear of the plane, from passengers originally seated further forward in the cabin, a sign that passengers and perhaps crew had been moved to the back of the aircraft. Given similarities to American 11 in hijacker seating and in eyewitness reports of tactics and weapons, as well as the contact between the presumed team leaders, Atta and Shehhi, we believe the tactics were similar vancouver island bc whale watching tours on both flights.43
The first operational evidence that something was abnormal on United 175 came at 8:47, when the aircraft changed beacon codes twice within a minute. At 8:51, the flight deviated from its assigned altitude, and a minute later New York air traffic controllers began repeatedly and unsuccessfully trying to contact it.44
At 8:52, in Easton, Connecticut, a man named Lee Hanson received a phone call from his son Peter, a passenger on United 175. His son told him: I think they ve taken over the cockpit-An attendant has been stabbed- and someone else up front may have been killed. The plane is making strange moves. Call United Airlines-Tell them it s Flight 175, Boston to LA. Lee Hanson then called the Easton Police Department and relayed what he had heard.45
Also at 8:52, a male flight attendant called a United office in San Francisco, reaching Marc Policastro. The flight attendant reported that the flight had been hijacked, both pilots had been killed, a flight attendant had been stabbed, and the hijackers were probably flying the plane. The call lasted about two minutes, after which Policastro and a colleague tried unsuccessfully to contact the flight.46
At 8:59, Flight 175 passenger Brian David Sweeney tried to call his wife, Julie. He left a message on their home answering machine that the plane had been hijacked. He then called his mother, Louise Sweeney, told her the flight had been hijacked, and added that the passengers were thinking about storming the cockpit to take control of the plane away from the hijackers.48
It s getting bad, Dad-A stewardess was stabbed-They seem to have knives and Mace-They said they have a bomb-It vancouver island bc whale watching tours s getting very bad on the plane-Passengers are throwing up and getting sick-The plane is making jerky movements-I vancouver island bc whale watching tours don t think the pilot is flying the plane-I think we are going down-I think they intend vancouver island bc whale watching tours to go to Chicago or someplace and fly into a building-Don t worry, Dad- If it happens, it ll be very fast-My God, my God .49
The call ended abruptly. Lee Hanson had heard a woman scream just before it cut off. He turned on a television, and in her home so did Louise Sweeney. Both then saw the second aircraft hit the World Trade Center.50

I meant that I can t complain vancouver island bc whale watching tours about traffic, or that my husband just left for who knows how long, again, or anything else that is as insignificant as what the people who have lost loved ones on this day, 7 years ago, are going through. That s why I thanked MM for putting this into perspective.
I was unmarried and 26yrs old when they hit. Now that I m older, married, and have a two year old, the grief is that much greater. To see the little kids that were on that flight, my mind can t stop thinking about what I would tell my beautiful daughter if we were on that flight. The promise of a long and happy life gone. What would I say to her knowing what was coming? Could I hide my fear so she wouldn t be so scared. How could I shield her? I m shaking right now just thinking of it. God bless those who had to endure vancouver island bc whale watching tours that horror, God bless all those who fight so no one else has to feel that pain, God bless you all and America vancouver island bc whale watching tours on this day.
This was the image, along with the Towers collapsing, vancouver island bc whale watching tours that I will never forget. I was on the phone with my sister-in-law out West, discussing an uncle who lived near the Towers. As we watched the first Tower in flames, the second plane hit.

Each year people need to not only remember vancouver island bc whale watching tours the people who s lives were changed forever by this terrorist attack, they also need to remember how they felt: shock, anger, sadness and vow to never let that happen again on our soil. Never.
