United Airlines Flight 175
Since 2001
United Airlines Flight 175 was an American domestic passenger flight from Logan International Airport in Boston to Los Angeles International Airport in California that was hijacked by five al-Qaeda terrorists on the morning of September 11, 2001, as part of the September 11 attacks. The hijacked airliner was deliberately crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center complex in New York City, killing all 65 people aboard the flight, and resulting in the deaths of more than 600 people in the South Tower's upper levels, in addition to an unknown number of civilians and emergency personnel on floors beneath the impact zone.
The hijacking and crash of Flight 175 is the second-deadliest plane crash in aviation history, surpassed only by American Airlines Flight 11, which struck the North Tower 17 minutes prior to Flight 175's crash.
