VIDEO | Flight 93 cockpit audio illustrates desperation, fear during hijacking

Justin Dennis jdennis@tribdem.com The Tribune-Democrat Tue Jul 31, 2012, 03:32 PM EDT

— Over the last 10 years, America has relived and rehashed the events of Sept. 11 through countless hours of news broadcasts, home footage and audio recordings.

A new video from the National Parks Service provides a perspective you may not have heard: audio from the cockpit of Flight 93 after the terrorists had taken over.

Through video infographics and narration by NPS rangers, the Flight 93 ordeal is reconstituted moment by moment, punctuated by snippets of audio taken from the cockpit voice recorder as well as civilian calls made via air phone.

This video and several others are available on the NPS website at the link below.
