This flight carried 76 passengers, including 11 crew members and 5 hijackers. Initially, many believed this to be an accident.
The second plane, United Airlines Flight 175, also a Boeing 767 en route from Boston to Los Angeles, struck the South Tower of the World Trade Center at 9:03 AM, just 17 minutes after the first impact. This flight had 65 passengers and 5 hijackers on board. The second impact made it clear that these were deliberate attacks.
