United Airlines Flight 175
United Airlines Flight 175 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Logan International Airport, in Boston, Massachusetts, to Los Angeles International Airport, in Los Angeles, California. On September 11, 2001, the Boeing 767-200 operating the route was hijacked by five al-Qaeda terrorists and flown into the South Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing all 65 people aboard and an unconfirmed number in the building's impact zone.
Approximately thirty minutes into the flight, the hijackers forcibly breached the cockpit and overpowered the pilot and first officer, allowing lead hijacker and trained pilot Marwan al-Shehhi to take over the controls. Unlike Flight 11, which turned its transponder off, the aircraft's transponder was visible on New York Center's radar, and the aircraft deviated from the assigned flight path for four minutes before air traffic controllers noticed these changes at 08:51 EDT. They made several unsuccessful attempts to contact the cockpit. Unknown to the hijackers, several passengers and crew aboard made phone calls from the plane to loved ones and provided information about the hijackers and injuries to passengers and crew.

Starry Nights And Fist Fights
by: Flight 409Would you step inside the white light
The smell of your house is fading now
And I'm still holding on
Well this ride has been so long
And this room couldn't get any colder
Please don't wake me
Because the sleep is what we've never known before
And I've never been so sure
Don't forget to send your love
From the places that you're going
I've never been this far from you
And these letters and calls mean everything
We never quit for anyone
We get so high, just to come down again
We were the best of them
Seventeen seconds until it's 3 A.M.
29 degrees could never break bestfriends
Let's drive into the starry sky
They shine so bright
But there's no stars out tonight
So where do we go from here?
When there's nowhere left to fear?
Don't forget to send your love
From the places that you're going
I've never been this far from you
And these letters and calls mean everything
We never quit for anyone
We get so high, just to come down again
We were the best of them
Higher, higher, higher, oh no
Higher, higher, higher, higher
(You and I were here under the starry night)
Don't forget to send your love
From the places that you're going
I've never been this far from you
And these letters and calls mean everything
We never quit for anyone
We get so high, just to come down again
