Later reports indicate that passengers had learned about the World Trade Center and Pentagon crashes and were resisting the hijackers.
All 44 people on board are killed in the crash. The Marriott Hotel at the base of the two towers is also destroyed. Two decades is a long time in the world of technology and media. Within three minutes, news of the attack hit the Associated Press newswire, and moments after that, most major networks cut away from scheduled programming to cover the story.
Less than 10 minutes after the impact, President Bush—who was attending an event at a Florida elementary school—was informed of the crash which at that point was characterized as an accident. Because media outlets were able to cover the incident so quickly, millions of people witnessed the second plane striking the South Tower in real-time a mere 17 minutes after the first impact.

Cities represent humanity's greatest achievements - and greatest challenges. The World Economic Forum supports a number of projects designed to make cities cleaner, greener and more inclusive.

Nevin won't disclose details of what it's like to represent one of the world's most notorious defendants. He says initially his client was "deeply sceptical" of being represented by an American lawyer so there was a long process of getting to know each other.
When Mohammed was held in a top-secret part of the naval base the lawyers were put in a van with the windows blacked out and driven around for 45 minutes to disorient them, he says. But now his client is held in the less secret Camp 5. At meetings some family members will challenge lawyers like Nevin about representing defendants, but others will ask questions about how the process works.
Another reason he believes the tribunal has dragged on is because it's a death penalty case and that raises the stakes. Pellegrino delayed his retirement from the FBI by three years in the hope that Mohammed's military tribunal at Guantanamo, which he expects to testify at, would be completed.
