Description: Of the four horrific hijackings on September 11, Flight 93, which crashed in a field outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania, resonates as one of epic resistance. The passengers' battle to take back the plane brought consolation to countless confused and grief-stricken witnesses to the horror. September 11 is a tragic day to be remembered by all, but Flight 93 is its symbol of hope and bravery.As we helplessly watched two planes fly into the twin towers of the World Trade Center and another into the Pentagon, a story of human resilience and sacrifice took place on Flight 93. 'Among the Heroes' is the definitive account of Flight 93's last doomed moments by Jere Longman, the New York Times reporter who covered the story from the crash site. He reconstructs a blow-by-blow narrative, profiling the hijackers and all the courageous passengers and crew, including Mark Bingham, Jeremy Glick and Todd Beamer, who were aware from calls made to their loved ones of the attacks on the World Trade Center and knew they were likely to suffer a similar fate, possibly killing thousands of innocent people in the process.Collating all the available material, eyewitness interviews, desperate last phone calls to family and the captain's tape, 'Among the Heroes' is a gripping account of a real life and death drama, a story of heroic struggle and brave decisions, full of intense emotion. These ordinary people fought back, conscious that this was the only chance to save themselves and to avoid being used as a weapon of destruction in the hands of the terrorists.
