Summary
A recent podcast episode delves into the harrowing events of September 11, 2001, detailing the timeline of the terrorist attacks that claimed thousands of lives. The narrative begins with the calm morning in New York City, quickly shifting to the chaos as hijackers board American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 at Logan International Airport. The episode recounts the hijackers' successful evasion of security measures, including carrying box cutters onto the planes, and the subsequent takeover of the aircraft.
