==Attacks== {{Main|United Airlines Flight 93}} [[Image:Saeed al-GhamdiPass Visa.jpg|thumb| [[Visa (document)|Visa]] page from Saeed al-Ghamdi's [[Kingdom of Saudi Arabia]] passport recovered from the [[United Airlines Flight 93]] crash site]] On the morning of 11 September 2001, al-Ghamdi boarded [[United Airlines Flight 93]] without incident. Due to the flight's delay, the pilot and crew were notified of the previous hijackings that day, and were told to be on the alert. Within minutes, Flight 93 was hijacked as well. At least two of the cell phone calls made by passengers indicate that the hijackers were wearing red bandanas. The calls also indicated that one had tied a box around his torso, and claimed there was a bomb inside. The flight transcript suggests that three hijackers were in the cockpit. [[Ziad Jarrah]] was identified as the pilot and is heard calling the other hijacker "Saeed",<ref>[[s:en:Flight 93 Cockpit Transcript|Flight 93 Cockpit Transcript]] at [[Wikisource]]</ref> indicating that al-Ghamdi, who also trained in flight simulators, was helping Jarrah with the controls.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=File:Flight_93_Cockpit_Transcript.djvu&page=7| title = Relevant page of Wikisource transcript where ''Saeed'' is said twice| date = 11 September 2001}}</ref> Passengers on the plane heard through phone calls the fates of the other hijacked planes. A passenger uprising resulted in the plane crashing into a [[Stonycreek Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania|field]] near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, killing everyone aboard.
