The emergency exits on the inside of the Boeing 757 are designed for a Boeing 747 not a 757. If you look closely the doors are not armed either, which they would be on a passenger jetliner so the slides could deploy if the plane crashed. See more...
Families of the 40 passengers and crew members killed on United Flight 93 cooperated in the production, offering Greengrass detailed background about their loved ones, down to the clothes they wore, what reading materials or music they had with them and what sort of candy they might have snacked on aboard the plane.

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
In what is believed to be the final few minutes of flight 93, we know factually that Todd Beamer said, "Okay.Let's Roll." In the movie, in the scenes believed to represent what really happened, some other passenger (not the actor playing Todd Beamer) is the one making the final bold encouragement statements, but it isnt "Okay.Let's Roll. The passenger states, "Okay are we ready to roll?" [Actually, the passenger says "Come on guys, let's roll".]
In every Air Traffic Control room, the scopes still display the hijacked aircraft's information regardless of the fact that they have turned the transponders off ("we are tracking a primary" as said in the movie). Primary (non-squawking) targets show only as blips with no information on radar scopes. [Primary Targets can be tagged by the controller to help them remember callsigns, etc.]
According to the 9/11 Commission, the hijackers all retreated into the cockpit prior to the charge. [No one knows what happened exactly. The filmmakers are allowed to improvise.]
