    It was a Boeing 767 on a scheduled flight from Boston to Los Angeles, with 81 passengers, nine flight attendants, and two pilots. At 7:59 AM, Flight 11 took off from Boston 's Logan Airport. At 8:13 the pilots last communication was made to ground control. At 8:15 Boston Air Traffic Control began unsuccessful attempts to contact the pilots after the plane failed to respond to an order to climb. At 8:20, Flight 11 stopped transmitting its transponder signal, and veered northward and departed dramatically from the westward heading of its planned route. The controllers concluded that the plane had probably been hijacked. At 8:28 controllers reportedly watched the plane make a 100-degree turn toward the south. The plane continued along the Hudson River straight into New York City. This plane flew directly over my house when I was three years old. At 8:46 Flight 11 collided with the North Tower.

    Shining brilliantly in the clear blue sky above America’s east coast, the sun promised a good travel day. The summer of 2001 was nearing its end as thousands of lower Manhattan office workers followed their usual morning routine. Many worked in the skyline-defining twin towers of the World Trade Center. In Washington, meanwhile, employees of the Department of Defense were at their desks in a section of the Pentagon. On this September 11 morning, four planes were scheduled to leave American airports within twelve minutes of each other. Aboard each of those planes were terrorists who were part of a coordinated plan to kill innocent people. Had the weather b8een bad, or the flights delayed for some other reason, the terrorists’ planned actions may not have occurred as they did. But this is not the story of what might-have-been. It is the story of the worst attack on U.S. soil since the bombing of Pearl Harbor.…
