About This Quote

Flight 11, American Airlines Flight 11, took off from Boston Logan International Airport at 7:45 a.m. on September 11, 2001. The flight landed at 9:54 a.m., or about 3 hours and 45 minutes later. Why? A man with a gun was sitting on a deck chair at 11,000 feet on the side of the World Trade Center's North Tower where United Airlines Flight 175 had crashed into the building approximately 8 minutes earlier. While news accounts of the crime scene report that the man with the gun was seated in his deck chair, he could have been standing on his deck chair at some point during the 3 hour and 45 minute flight.
