ATCSCC:\u00a0 Yes sir<\/p>\n

ZID:\u00a0 This is John Thomas, Ops Manager.\u00a0 I think we need to let everyone know this right away, if they don’t already.\u00a0 American seventy seven was over ah was just west of Charleston, West Virginia,\u00a0 at flight level three five zero, it’s a heav, heavy Boeing sever fifty two, and dissappeared off our radar scope about twelve fifty six Z, a long with lost ah frequency.<\/p>\n

ZID:\u00a0 We were treating is as a lost, started to do some procedures to notify search and rescue, and what not, whe, when American Airlines told us they’d had some aircraft, or an aircraft hijacked.\u00a0 We now believe that aircraft may have been hijacked, although no one has, we have nothing, you know, to verify that.\u00a0 What with the World Trade Center we could have another loose aircraft out there somewhere.<\/p>\n

ATCSCC:\u00a0 K, at the time of loss do you, ah what altitude\u00a0 was he at? Flight level<\/p>\n

ZID:\u00a0 Flight level, flight level three five zero<\/p>\n

ATCSCC:\u00a0 And he just just lost primary, also<\/p>\n

ZID:\u00a0 Lost all, Yes lost, no primary, or ah that we could see. Course we couldn’t wouldn’t necessarily be able to pick up a primary there anyway<\/p>\n

ATCSCC:\u00a0 I’m assuming then that you’re ah, doing what you can to do a primary read retrack on him, if you can do that<\/p>\n

ZID:\u00a0 Sure<\/p>\n

ATCSCC:\u00a0 And then, ah, so at twelve fifty-six Zulu we lost [indistinct] comm and radar.\u00a0 Any ah ELTs?<\/p>\n

ZID: No ELTs<\/p>\n

ATCSCC Ah um, OK, ah, any more information you get, I’d appreciate it.\u00a0 And I’ll forward this immediately up to the NOM and everyone that’s standin’ up there<\/p>\n

ZID: Thank you<\/p>\n

\nfive<\/p>\n

ZDC:\u00a0 Uh huh<\/p>\n

ID Tech: And one is American one one.\u00a0 They thought that the American one one was the aircraft that crashed into the World Trade Center with the United one seven five, however,
\nAmerican one one is not the aircraft that crashed, he said the pilot on American one one was talking to him, having a rough time telling him what’s going on, there was threats in the cockpit being made, this was the initial ah hijack information that we got, American one one, it’s a seven six seven, from Boston to Los Angeles. proposed route he was headed towards JFK at the time that they lost contact, but that was not the aircraft headed ah into the World Trade Center, that hit it<\/p>\n

ZDC: OK<\/p>\n

ID Tech:\u00a0 What Boston’s saying.\u00a0 He, the last known, and I”m not sure where we heard it, through the grapevine, people calling, is that American one one was headed toward Washington, and that’s the only thing<\/p>\n
