At a Newark hotel the morning of September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda members Ziad Jarrah, Saeed al-Ghamdi, Ahmed al-Nami, and Ahmed al-Haznawi pray before boarding United Airlines Flight 93.

An ACARS message warns of the WTC attacks and potential cockpit intrusion.

As Haznawi and Nami force the passengers to the back of the plane, Ghamdi fatally stabs pilots Jason Dahl and LeRoy Homer, but not before they transmit a mayday call.
