Meanwhile, sometime around 10 a.m., United Flight 93, headed to San Francisco from Newark, N.J., crashed into a field about 80 miles from Pittsburgh.
An emergency dispatcher in Westmoreland County, Pa., received a cell phone call at 9:58 a.m. ET from a man who said he was a passenger locked in the bathroom of United Flight 93, said dispatch supervisor Glenn Cramer.
?We are being hijacked. We are being hijacked!? Cramer quoted the man as saying. The man told dispatchers that the plane ?was going down,? Cramer said. ?He heard some sort of explosion and saw white smoke coming from the plane, and we lost contact with him.?
Rep. James Moran, D-Va., said Marine Corps officers disclosed at a briefing that the hijackers apparently were trying to crash the jet into Camp David, located in the mountains of Catoctin, Md.
