United Flight 175 - Peter Hanson

Peter Hanson, on board United Flight 175, called his parents before the crash to report what was happening on the plane. The 9/ll Commission Report contains part of that message:

It's getting bad, Dad - A stewardess was stabbed - They seem to have knives and Mace - They said they have a bomb - It's getting very bad on the plane - Passengers are throwing up and getting sick - The plane is making jerky movements - I don't think the pilot is flying the plane - I think we are going down - I think they intend to go to Chicago or someplace and fly into a building - Don't worry, Dad - If it happens, it'll be very fast - My God, my God.

Peter's message was received on his parents' phone at 9:00 a.m., EDT. United 175 slammed into the South Tower three minutes later.
