Flight 93 victims families
•
When United Airlines Flight 93 was hijacked, thirteen passengers and crew members responded by placing phone calls to the authorities, to United Airlines, and to their family members and friends. According to the FBI, thirty-seven phone calls were placed from on board Flight 93 between 9:28 when the plane was hijacked until the time of the crash at 10:03. Thirty-five of these calls were made on the Airfones located on the back of the seats in the last nine rows of the plane. Credit card records reveal the time of the call, Airfone caller’s name, the number or numbers dialed, the duration of the call, and the row from which the call was placed. These phone records were entered as evidence during the sentencing trial of Zacarias Moussaoui in 2006. According to the 9/11 Commission Report, the series of calls from the flight provided vital information both to the ground and to the passengers. Calls from on board the plane revealed that:
the plane had been hijacked
the hijackers wielded knives
the hijackers had entered the cockpit
the hijackers had a bomb
the hijackers wore red bandanas
the passengers were forced to the back of the aircraft
a passenger had been stabbed (reported by at least two callers) and the victim had died (reported by one)

Forty individual slabs stand together, like silent sentinels, overlooking a quiet field and hemlock grove. Each has a single engraved name in black.
But one caught the child’s eye. It was the only one that includes a name with the inscription: “and unborn child.”

For the last two decades, her husband, Jack Grandcolas, has found himself trying to come to
