Part 2/6:
United Flight 93, which had taken off from Newark, New Jersey, was en route to Washington, D.C. when it was hijacked by terrorists. What transpired in those pivotal moments is a testament to human bravery. A group of passengers, faced with an unimaginable situation, resolved to prevent their flight from becoming another weapon of mass destruction.
One passenger, Todd Beamer, became synonymous with this act of defiance, as he reportedly urged his fellow travelers to “let’s roll.” This cry for action inspired not just those on board but resonated with the broader American public who yearned for a collective way to confront the chaos of that day.
