@cinemaoccupy: Ben Sliney's first day as the FAA's national operations manager was September 11, 2001. He ordered every civilian plane in the country to land. Five years later Paul Greengrass cast him in 'United 93' to play himself doing it. Greengrass filmed only with the consent of all 40 families and cast no stars. Almost everything known about that flight comes from the passengers' phone calls and the cockpit recorder. 'The Flight That Fought Back' got there a year earlier.

Ben Sliney also did not have the authority to ground all flights in the US but he did it anyway.

The patriotism they demonstrated in the most terrifying confusing moment of their lives. I will never be at peace over flight 93 😭 Heroes were on board that day. God bless their souls.

If you start a new job and the anxiety starts kicking in 'what if I mess up', 'am I gonna be good enough' Remember this man has every single worst first day at work beat and still came out the other end.

Courtney Jewell :

Jen 🇲🇽 :

I didn't think about this before, but were there Marshals on any of these flights?

bcsp3 :

In the face of tragedy, I still love how they voted before rushing to stop the hijackers - something so American in the face of peril

MicaelaCD_gardens :

Oh wow if this is true and he ordered every plane to land that means he ordered my plane to land that day. We passed the towers 8 min before they hit and landed in Georgia 😭😭😭
