==Attacks== {{Main|United Airlines Flight 93}} On 11 September 2001, al-Haznawi arrived at [[Newark International Airport]] to board United Airlines Flight 93. Although he was selected for additional security by [[Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System|CAPPS]] and screened, he was able to board the flight without incident, with only his checked bags requiring extra screening for explosives.<ref name="staff">{{cite web |url=http://www.9-11commission.gov/staff_statements/staff_statement_3.pdf |title=The Aviation Security System and the 9/11 Attacks - Staff Statement No. 3 |publisher=9/11 Commission |access-date=2006-10-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080528201527/http://www.9-11commission.gov/staff_statements/staff_statement_3.pdf |archive-date=2008-05-28 |url-status=live }}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/26/arts/united-93-and-the-politics-of-heroism.html | title='United 93' and the politics of heroism | newspaper=The New York Times | date=26 April 2006 | last1=Longman | first1=Jere }}</ref> At least two of the cellphone 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. Some passengers expressed doubt that the bomb was real. Passengers on the plane heard through phone calls the fates of the other hijacked planes. A passenger uprising soon took place. Three times in a period of five seconds there were shouts of pain or distress from a hijacker outside the cockpit, suggesting that a hijacker was being attacked by the passengers.<ref>''Flight 93: The Story, the Aftermath, and the Legacy of American Courage on 9/11'', pp 103</ref> Hijacker-pilot [[Ziad Jarrah]] crashed the plane into an empty [[Stonycreek Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania|field]] near [[Shanksville, Pennsylvania]], in order to prevent the passengers from gaining control of the plane. The crash killed everyone on board.
