The day’s chaos then jumped to the skies over Ohio. The fourth—and, as it turned out, final—attack of September 11th unfolded aboard United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757 aircraft scheduled to fly from Newark International Airport to San Francisco. The flight had pushed back from the gate at 8:01 a.m.—its final passenger, Mark Bingham, had only barely made the flight, boarding at 7:55. Due to airport congestion, Flight 93 sat on the runway in Newark for 41 minutes and took off at 8:42 a.m., much later than scheduled. It carried 40 people—seven crew and 33 passengers.
