Flight 93 Audio tapes not to be released due to family requests. Also some audio of discussions between Rumsfeld and Cheny not to be released.
| Quote: | Audio recordings, which reveal in real-time how US air traffic controllers and the military reacted to the September 11 terror attacks, have been released.
The audio also includes the voice of Mohamed Atta, the terrorist ringleader who piloted one of the two hijacked passenger planes that crashed into the World Trade Centre (WTC) in New York.
For the first time, he is heard saying: "We have some planes. Just stay quiet and we'll be OK. We are returning to the airport."
Atta then said: "Nobody move. Everything will be ok. If you try to make any moves you will injure yourself and the airplane. Just stay quiet."
Another terrorist Ziad Jarrah, who piloted the jet that crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, was heard saying: "Please sit down and remain sitting. We have a bomb on board.
"This is the captain. I would like you all to remain seated. We have a bomb on board and are going back to the airport and have our demands, so please remain quiet."
Some of the recordings, which stretch across two hours on the morning of 9/11, have never been heard in public before.
The tapes reveal how air traffic controllers desperately tried to keep up with what was happening.
Sixteen minutes after the first hijacked plane crashed into one of the twin towers, a radio transmission came through to the New York radar control centre, telling staff to look out the window at a low-flying aircraft.
Before the manager was able to identify the plane, it struck the second tower.
People in the background can be heard shouting: "Another one just hit the building. Another one just hit it hard. Another one just hit the World Trade."
Then the manager said: "The whole building just came apart."
Sky's Tim Marshall said: "What you find is that all the time, air traffic control were several minutes behind the actual events.
"You also find an absolute sense of clarity which the professionals have of doing their job amid the mayhem."
The tapes also include the scrambling of fighter jets to try and track the passenger planes.
A military commander, Major Kevin Nasypany, discovered some of the fighter pilots had been sent east of Washington DC, over the ocean, in pursuit of American Airlines Flight 11 - which had already crashed into the north tower of the WTC.
Major Nasypany ordered them to head towards Washington at high speed. "I don't care how many windows you break," he said.
It is the first time the recordings have been pulled together and published in full.
They were due to be compiled for the 9/11 commission into the attacks but the task was not completed by the time the commission published its report in 2004.
Sky's Hannah Thomas-Peter said: "One of the researchers who investigated on behalf of the 9/11 commission has recently finished his task.
"He decided to dig all those recordings out of the National Archives, put them all together and publish them on the Rutgers Law Review website and that is why they are coming to light now."
Nearly 3,000 people were killed when terrorists hijacked four planes, including one that smashed into the Pentagon, 10 years ago. |
