United Airlines Flight 93, which took off from Newark Airport the morning of September 11th, 2001, is perhaps the most famous flight in modern American history: We know of the passenger uprising, but there’s so much more to the story besides its harrowing and oft-told climax. Amazingly, the definitive account of this seminal event has yet to be written.  The book offers the most complete account of what actually took place aboard Flight 93 – from its delayed takeoff in Newark to the moment it plunged upside-down at 563 miles per hour into an open field in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Flight 93 provides a riveting and complete narrative of the lead-up, event, and aftermath of the flight, based on interviews, oral histories, personal tours of the crash site and evidence recently made public. It examines the lead-up to that horrific morning; the stories of the victims who were launched into the center of history; the revolt that saved untold amounts of carnage on the ground and likely, the US Capitol; the eyewitnesses and first responders who rushed to the crash sce≠ the impact on family members; the effort to uncover evidence at the site; and the legacy the story leaves for future generations. … (más)

Every September, I read abook about the 9/11 terrorism attacks. I got this one on sale as a Kindle book, and decided it would be this year's book.

This was published in 2014, and includes information that was not available for books written earlier. It draws upon the results of the various investigations made related to the 9/11 attacks in general, and Flight 93 in particular. We learn more about how the terrorist attacks were planned. We also learn about the souls who were on the plane, and about the aftermath of the Flight 93 crash; also, it details the planning and construction of the Flight 93 Memorial in rural Somerset County, PA.

I had a few minor annoyances with the book relating to the unnecessary repetition of some pieces of information. Overall, though, I thought this was an excellent account of what happened, as best as anyone can know.

The book was written so that the average reader should be able to follow the narrative easily; there are extensive source notes, a bibliography, and an index at the end of the book. ( )
