8:13 AM: Last connection with the pilots on Flight 11 before interruption.
8:14 AM: Flight 175 departs from Logan International Airport, also a Boeing 767 with 100% fuel; 65 total on board.
***At this point, I was on my way to school, regular, sunny day, I remember***
8:14 ~ 8:16 AM: The five hijackers on board Flight 11 begin hijacking and succeed.
8:20 AM: With repeated failures of orders, FAA determines the flight is hijacked, thanks to Betty Ong.
8:20 AM: Flight 77 departs from Washington Dulles International Airport, a Boeing 757 with 64 passengers on, with five hijackers. 100% fuel
8:21 AM: The hijackers on Flight 11 turn the transponder off.
8:24 AM: The leader on Flight 11 tries to calm the passengers down, but presses the radio instead of the on-plane speakers. Turns plane towards New York City.
8:42 AM: Flight 93 a Boeing 757 with 44 people on board, 4 of them hijackers, takes off from Newark International Airport.
8:44 AM: Flight 175's hijackers hijack the plane.
8:46 AM: Two F-15 jets depart to try to destroy Flight 11, but since the transponder is off, they cannot find them easily, and must rely on radar instead.
***I'm at school at this point, I think we were doing grammar lessons.***
8:46 AM: Flight 11 crashes into the North Tower (one with the antenna) with 490mph of speed between floors 93 and 99 with a slant to the left wing about 15 degrees. It is a precise suicidal shot, destroying all emergency staircases, making rescue above these floors hopeless.
8:46 AM: All attention is on the WTC at this moment, and even the FAA does not consider what Flight 175 is up to.
8:50 AM: Flight 77's hijackers begin to hijack, and succeed. The surprised passengers offer little resistance.
The two F-15s don't know that the first plane has already crashed, and continue their work.
8:56 AM: Flight 77 has now turned off its radar and transponder, not to be detected again.
8:58 AM: Flight 175 turns to New York City.
9:03 AM: Flight 175 crashes at a speed of 590mph into the South Tower, between floors 77 and 85 at a steeper angle to the left at about 35 degrees. Millions, including our school...see the impact. Despite the high speed and the lower hit, it leaves one out of three staircases intact, meaning several escaped from above the hit.
***School is cancelled that day, officially announced sometime around here***
9:26: National groundstop on all planes.
9:28: Flight 93 is hijacked.
9:33: Reagan National Airport in Washington DC warns the White House that Flight 77 has been found again and is quickly approaching Washington.
9:37: Unlike what they assumed, Flight 77 turns slightly southward and strikes the Pentagon. The side where the plane hit, however, was recently renovated so there was hardly any damage done. One ring out of five was penetrated, two others slightly damaged.
9:52: Osama bin Laden unknowingly tells the US that there is one more target.
***I'm back at home wondering what is going on, my mom and uncle are talking about it***
9:57: After hearing about how the other planes were used, Flight 93's passengers start to storm the cockpit.
9:59: After 56 minutes, the South Tower collapses. Concrete dust fills New York, and at least one person dies from respiratory problems afterwards, with hundreds more sickened.
10:03: Flight 93 crashes in Shanksville Pennsylvania possibly from brawls within the cockpit, no survivors.
10:10: the Pentagon's first ring's damaged wall collapses.
10:28: The North Tower, sustaining for over 100 minutes, finally collapsed. Another colossal cloud of concrete dust fills New York City.
10:50: Five stories of the Pentagon collapse.
3000 deaths, with tens of thousands of injuries from all of these attacks.
BTW: If you jump off a building the height of the WTC at the very top, it will take only about 10 seconds for you to hit the ground...instant fatality.
8:13 AM: Last connection with the pilots on Flight 11 before interruption.
8:14 AM: Flight 175 departs from Logan International Airport, also a Boeing 767 with 100% fuel; 65 total on board.
