Fateful Flight 93 to be re-created
The Discovery Channel will air a re-creation of the hijacking of Flight 93 on the fourth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The program will be called “The Flight That Fought Back” and will include about 45 minutes of re-created scenes depicting what happened before the plane crashed in a southwestern Pennsylvania field. Forty passengers and crew members were killed.
The show is being produced by London-based Brook Lapping Productions, which is getting cooperation on the project from United Airlines and some family members of those killed in the attack.
Flight 93 was en route to San Francisco from Newark, N.J., when it was hijacked. The official 9/11 commission report said the hijackers crashed the plane as passengers tried to wrest control of the cockpit from them.
