What can this animation establish?
Use the clock to compare four flights and the sequence of attacks. The map connects a few stored points and animates between them; it does not replay radar observations. September 11, 2026 marked 25 years since the attacks.
Independent educational illustration. No BNO News affiliation, original FAA radar dataset, or complete flight-path reconstruction is established. Aircraft subtypes and tail identifiers are retained fixture labels, not independently verified here.
At 09:00, the model has three flights airborne: Flight 11 has already struck the North Tower, while Flights 175, 77, and 93 remain in flight. For Flight 93, elapsed time is 18 minutes after its 08:42 departure; the animation divides 18 by its roughly 81.18-minute modeled duration and distributes that fraction evenly across four coordinate segments. Equal time per segment is not evidence of actual position, speed, or altitude.
The Commission separates a 09:25 nationwide ground stop from the 09:42 instruction for airborne aircraft to land. It gives Flight 175’s impact time as 09:03:11. The page follows that chronology rather than claiming independently verified seconds. 9/11 Commission Report: Chapter 1
The Memorial identifies North Tower impact floors 93–99 and South Tower floors 77–85; its remembrance guide places their collapses at 09:59 and 10:28. 9/11 Memorial & Museum: Commemoration guide
The Commission describes Flight 93’s sustained passenger counterattack while the hijackers remained at the controls. This does not justify claiming that passengers breached and took over the flight deck. 9/11 Commission Report: Chapter 1
The slider selects whole minutes. Playback advances 30 simulated seconds every 100 milliseconds, approximately 300 times clock speed; event thresholds can occur between slider minutes. Hijack-window labels are sampled model thresholds, not the moment every controller learned of a hijacking.
The aggregate flag reflects whether any modeled airborne flight has passed its illustrative hijack threshold. It is not a transponder readout: the Commission reports three transponders were turned off, while Flight 175 changed its beacon code. 9/11 Commission Report: Chapter 1
