“He was calm through the entire conversation,” said Jefferson, “and I tried to stay just as calm with him.” Todd told Jefferson about the hijacking he asked her to tell his wife he loved her and their family they prayed the Lord’s Prayer together. David Beamer and his wife, Peggy, have paid tribute to Todd and the other passengers at the Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Todd Beamers call was a part of the plan formulated by passengers.

My take of United Flight 93 Passenger Todd Beamers directive Lets Roll Is that Mr. Todd Beamer was an evangelical Christian and one of the heroes of Flight 93 on September 11, 2001. Passengers and flight attendants huddling in the rear of the plane used in-flight phones to contact their loved ones and officials on the ground. The pilots of Flight 93 were informed of the crash and the two that followed only moments before four hijackers on their flight took over the cockpit and cabin.
He would take the early flight from Newark to San Francisco, attend his meeting, and fly back that night.īut Todd Beamer ’87 never made it back to his wife, Lisa, their two young sons, David and Drew, and their unborn child.ĭelayed more than 40 minutes on the runway, Flight 93 took off only four minutes before an American Airlines Boeing 767 crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center (WTC).
