Eight other hijackers were waiting at the airport.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Moretto |first=Mario |date=2011-09-08 |title=10 years after 9/11, spotlight finds Scarborough man who faced terrorists suspicious, less 'politically correct' |url=https://www.sunjournal.com/2011/09/08/10-years-911-spotlight-finds-scarborough-man-faced-terrorists-suspicious-less-politically-correct/ |access-date=2024-04-28 |website=Lewiston Sun Journal}}</ref> It is unknown why this connecting flight through Portland happened, especially because the two almost missed their flight at Logan.<ref name=":6" /> Their flight, American 11, was supposed to fly to Los Angeles.<ref name=":0" />
