Inside Air Force One During 9/11

I will never get over Flight 93 and the sheer bravery and patriotism of the passengers. It was really just a small group that coordinated the whole thing. All it took was a few people learning about the planes hitting the Towers, and they just knew what they had to do.

Crazy that it was the FAA's national operations manager's (Ben Sliney) first day on the job when it happened.

I was in 2nd grade living in Manhattan and I got picked up from school by my parents during lunchtime. When we got home I saw it on tv and thought it was a movie playing

I was born and raised in Sarasota and I had the honor of having that elementary teacher as one of my middle school teachers. She had retired this year and was commemorated for her calmness during the event by my principle.

12:53 there was one other plane that was allowed to fly. It was a small Learjet that had the antidote for a very highly venomous snake that bit somebody in Miami and it flew from San Diego while being escorted by two F-16s.

4:57 how sad he just wanted a photo of the air force one

1:03 this segment here makes me want a full video timeline on 9/11 from neo. The way it’s presented here is fascinating.

President of my flight school was flying the backup 757 for Air Force One. He said they were sitting in the cockpit reading the morning papers which were printed before the attacks happened, so they had no idea what was happening. Suddenly Secret Service came and told them to get in the air ASAP. They didn't know where they were going either but ultimately they did go straight back to DC I believe. He said the most surreal thing about it all was how quiet the radios were. Usually there's constant chatter all the way along the east coast but it was just them, AF1, and the controllers

My uncle was one of the pilots that flew the president on 9/11! He always brings that story out during thanksgiving lmfao

I live in Brazil and I was 13 or 14 back then. I remember my school principal going classroom to classroom to tell the news as soon as our tv stations gave the news. It was a eerie day.

My grandpa was flying back from Italy on 9/11, when he was still around he told us stories of how he was diverted from New York to Halifax because he was coming in right when they shut down the airspace

It's amazing that as time goes on, more and more secrets unfold, even after 23 years later

You know 9/11 is a crazy event when there is still videos being posted about it 23 years later and still being relevant and getting plenty of views. Please make more videos about this topic, so much mystery to uncover.

He never thought that his simple day could turn into a national matter

The part about "Angel is next" you are correct about that message being received, but the name Angel is the plane's actual name not a inside code name. Angel One and Angel Two because there are two jets and only when the president steps foot on board then it becomes Airforce One because thats his designated call sign. Any plane he boards becomes Airforce one and any helicopter he is on becomes Marine one. Thats pretty cool really!!

This was one of the best videos I have ever watched, a topic that is not normally covered. Give this man a documentary show.

I remember an interview of an F15 pilot who protected the Air Force One along the way. At some point they realized that, if it came to an attack on the plane, they had one simple job: put themselves between the attacker and the president. I habe massive respect to everybody involved.

Slight typo error at 8:30 - Dick Cheney was not the 64th VP, he was the 46th.

I was in 3rd year in my university in Ottawa, Ontario. I can never forget this day. It will forever be ingrained in my mind.

The visuals, the execution, and the style of these videos tops some shows and Netflix documentaries, you earned my sub Neo!
