The People of Flight 175

This video is part of a historical series remembering the people who found themselves at the center of major events. On the morning of September 11, 2001, United Airlines Flight 175 departed Boston for Los Angeles carrying 51 passengers and nine crew members, including three children under the age of four. Through research and historical sources, this video explores who the people aboard Flight 175 were — the pilots and flight attendants who served on the aircraft, the passengers traveling for work or family, and the ordinary plans they had for the day ahead. Rather than focusing on the violence of the event, this video focuses on the people themselves: their lives, their professions, their families, and the human stories behind the headlines. A short musical tribute is included in remembrance of the 51 passengers, nine crew members, and three young children who were on board. The purpose of this video is education, remembrance, and preserving the human stories connected to history. They are remembered.
