united 93 you're here cleveland center united 93 is one of 4 500 planes in the sky above america it's under the control of al-qaeda terrorist and just 34 minutes from its target the capital a top secret recording from united 93's cockpit reveals what happens in its final moments few people have ever heard the tape you could hear the sound of the wind passing over the wings so there was a lot of background noise but even so it was fascinating you could hear the scuffling you could hear people moving quickly the sense was that there were
several people working together you could hear a hijacker being hit with some type of object and you could hear the pain that he felt when he was hit and it was a cry and a whale as if he had been fatally struck all of a sudden saeed one of the hijackers in the front yells fight and his buddy said yeah they were realizing that the passengers and crew members were coming to get them we started to see change in the aircraft's flight the airplane started making some pretty extreme maneuvers turned to the north it turned
to the south it did like a 270 degree turn i didn't know what was going on there cleveland enlists the help of a nearby light aircraft we're five six eight six five cleveland we have uh boeing 757. can you see him up there sir we've got him uh what else too does it appear to be he's at he's probably eight thousand feet he's behind us at only about a thousand above us in the opening moments of the passenger fight back the terrorists lose altitude and veer away from their target of washington dc and then they
ran up the length of a 757 with all their improvised weapons and you could hear them coming and we could hear it in the in the recording it became louder and louder people yelling and i'm thinking maybe they should have just done it quietly i was smashing and just sounded like things were being banged around and commotion and then we all heard tom's voice all of us just jolted he was trying to get home to us you could hear him yelling in the cockpit the cockpit they were chanting tom brunette started that we in the
cockpit and they were going in the cockpit in the cockpit they rattled the heck out of those guys in the front they were terrified if you can report what he's doing sir uh it looks like he's rocking his wings by shaking the aircraft back and forth left to right the hijackers tried to dislodge the passengers you could hear the passengers and crew members outside of the cockpit door really loud and the guys yelling together and encouraging one another you could also hear the hijackers inside the cockpit they said is that it should we put her
in the ground now and said no wait and then you could hear the noise blasting them get him and then tom said i'm injured it was in a way that you had this sense that he was saying don't wait for me keep going you could hear that we're working together and dina said it was tom that said if we don't get in there we'll die
