[As for the Discovery Channel, its] The Flight That Fought Back ... We think of this primarily as a work of journalism. |
I don't understand why they're not covering it. |
In terms of screen time, about 50 per cent of the film is reconstruction, based largely on those phone calls. There are some dialogue scenes on the plane, and 90 per cent of these are based on tape evidence and the memories of people who spoke to passengers on the flight. There are a very few occasions where we have invented dialogue and it was based on consultation with people who knew the passengers. |
The 9/11 Commission Report makes clear that the order given to shoot down planes approaching Washington, D.C., came almost a half-hour after Flight 93 had crashed. |
There were many things we did not know or will never know. The most difficult thing was filling in the gaps, which were a series of glimpses into the truth. |
We may never know exactly what happened on Flight 93. |
