Emergency despatcher in Pennsylvania receives a call from a passenger on United Flight 93 who says "We are being hijacked, we are being hijacked!"

New York Times:

"In a series of cellular telephone calls to their wives, two passengers aboard the plane that crashed into a Pennsylvania field instead of possibly toppling a national landmark learned about the horror of the World Trade Center. From 35,000 feet, they relayed harrowing details about the hijacking in progress to the police. And they vowed to try to thwart the enemy, to prevent others from dying even if they could not save themselves."
