    About this ebook

    “A powerful reconstruction of the flight’s final moments. . . . Made me think of John Hersey’s Hiroshima.” — New York Times Book Review

    The definitive story of the courageous men and women aboard Flight 93 on September 11, 2001, and of the day that forever changed the way Americans view the world and themselves.

    Of the four horrific hijackings on September 11, Flight 93 resonates as one of epic resistance. At a time when the United States appeared defenseless against an unfamiliar foe, the gallant passengers and crew of Flight 93 provided for many Americans a measure of victory in the midst of unthinkable defeat. Together, they seemingly accomplished what all the security guards and soldiers, military pilots and government officials, could not—they thwarted the terrorists, sacrificing their own lives so that others might live.

    The culmination of hundreds of interviews with family members and months of investigation, this powerful and deeply moving book is a lasting testament to American heroes.

      on Saturday, January 20, 2007 I wrote about this book:

      Well I finished reading this book on January 7th 2007.
      It was interesting and touching but confusing for me because of all the names of the passengers and there families.

      What a terrible way to die. Once they learned that the hijackers were lying to them and they were going to crash, like the 2 other airplanes did in the World Trade centre, they decided to take matters in there own hand.
      These passengers will be remembered forever.

      This book was difficult to put down. The author tells the story of each person who boarded Flight 93 including how they spent the days and hours leading up to September 11th. Through his background summary of each person, Longman also does an excellent job of conveying to the reader that these were real people who had families, friends, careers, and hobbies like so many of us. This book is both sad and inspiring.
