Something is wrong. We are flying very, very low. We are flying way too low. Oh my God we are way too low.

Flight attendant of American 11

It's getting bad, Dad. They seem to have knives and Mace. They said they have a bomb. [...] I think we are going down. I think they intend to go to Chicago or someplace and fly into a building. Don't worry, Dad. If it happens, it'll be very fast.

They hate what we see right here in this chamber — a democratically elected government. Their leaders are self-appointed. They hate our freedoms — our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other.

President of USA, George W. Bush
