On September 11, 2001, four commercial jetliners were commandeered by terrorists and flown into buildings in New York City and Washington, D.C., and into a field outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania. That day forever changed America and the way that we all travel. Join us for part one of this special September 11th anniversary episode of Take to the Sky: The Air Disaster Podcast as Shelly tells the story of the two planes that deliberately crashed into the Twin Towers: American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines 175. Hear about the heartbreaking events leading up the crash and the heroes that did the only thing they could do that day: try and save as many people as possible before the unthinkable happens.
