Path of American Airlines Flight 11

American Airlines Flight 11 was a domestic passenger flight that was hijacked by five al-Qaeda terrorists on the morning of September 11, 2001, as part of the 9/11 attacks. The airliner was deliberately crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center complex in New York City, killing everyone aboard the flight and resulting in the deaths of more than one thousand people. The aircraft involved, a Boeing 767 with 92 passengers and crew, was flying American Airlines' morning transcontinental service from Logan Airport to Los Angeles International Airport. The hijackers breached the cockpit, forcing the passengers and crew to the rear. Mohamed Atta took the controls and flew the plane into the North Tower from floors 93 through 99 at 08:46 local time. Seventeen minutes later, United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the World Trade Center's South Tower, dispelling any notion that the attacks were accidental. The North Tower collapsed at 10:28, resulting in hundreds of casualties. ( Full article... )
