Flight 93

Crashed Pennsylvania aircraft

Flight 93 was the United Airlines flight hijacked on September 11, 2001, that crashed in a Pennsylvania field after passengers attempted to overpower the hijackers.

Unlike the three other planes that day, it never reached its intended target—believed to be the U.S.

Capitol or White House.

The phrase Let's roll, reportedly spoken before the passenger revolt, became a symbol of resistance.
