The other three planes hijacked that day were [[American Airlines Flight 11]], [[United Airlines Flight 175]] and [[American Airlines Flight 77]]. Unlike the other three flights, four, not five, hijackers were on board Flight 93:
Line 28 ⟶ 29:
The plane was a Boeing 757-222 on a morning route from Newark International Airport (now known as [[Newark Liberty International Airport]]) in [[Newark, New Jersey]], near [[New York City]], to [[San Francisco International Airport]] near [[San Francisco, California]] (EWR-SFO). It had 182 seats but was carrying only 37 passengers (33 regular passengers and four hijackers) and seven crew members: two pilots, the captain Jason M. Dahl and his first officer, [[LeRoy Homer]]; and five flight attendants. Because one passenger had booked two seats, some early accounts say there were actually 38 passengers on board. The four hijackers were seated in first class.
