As we commemorate the 9/11 terror attacks, we're taking a look back at "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O’Donnell's 2021 interview with Air National Guard pilots Lt. Gen. Marc Sasseville and Heather Penney. They recounted the harrowing events from that Tuesday morning in 2001 when they heroically rushed into their F-16 fighter jets in what they knew might be their last mission to protect the nation's capital after the World Trade Center attacks in New York City. Tune in for exclusive Air Traffic Control audio over the Eastern seaboard.

I was stuck on a bus that morning, on my way to the Lincoln Tunnel, when they stopped all traffic from entering NYC. A whole day and night and more we sat on that highway until they got us turned around (they had men digging and clearing the meridian for us) when all of a sudden 100's of neighbors who lived by the highway ALL CAME OUT AND BROUGHT EVERYONE WATER, SANDWICHES, NEWS..They were our heroes too! I'll never forget those kind, beautiful ppl either! Thank you to all! 🇺🇸

It's like they're back in their cockpits side by side in those moments. Much respect to both of them.

@@ricksanchez5147no offense, but we all heard the passengers bum rush the cockpit in the tapes. No passengers saw another plane because they were on their phones with loved ones. Someone would have seen them coming. In the tapes, you can hear them getting ready to crash. And did you ever see a plane like that crash that had sped up to intentionally crash? The crash site looked completely in keeping with that scenario. They were going at a ridiculous speed, so it wouldn't be surprising for an engine to come apart. There was a crater where they had hit, and of course things going at that speed and angle are going to create a massive debris field, sending out projectiles everywhere. Frankly, i find it gross that you would perpetuate a known fake conspiracy theory instead of honoring these people.

And I remember how New Yorkers showed so much class and dignity in their time of great tragedy. I will draw on that memory of the people of New York, for strength in the days to come.

This is the most impress video I watched this year. I truly admire these two pilots for what the did. They are what the best of American is all about, dedicated, brave, and calm. I took comfort to know they are protecting this great country. 100 times better than any politician. Salute these great man and woman!

Let's hope you verified their story instead of blindly believing a tale that is so riddled with holes that even Stevie Wonder could see through it. You mean to tell me that two pilots were willing to sacrifice themselves while the World's largest and most technolgically advanced Air Force idly sat by with it's armed aircraft or our Missile Defense Agency didn't exist which can bring down any object in a matter of minutes???? Talk about ignorant

What a fantastic interview! The bravery of those pilots & others involved! RIP all who lost their lives.

@juicyfruit4378 8 месяцев назад

And another paid one here -- What was fantastic about an interview that's story has yet to be verified. In order to believe this tale, one has to believe that our entire Air Force and Missile Defense Office was sleeping or out to lunch???? The USAF has ARMED planes 24-7 over the US airspace - furthermore no high level decision maker would sacrifice two pilots and their expensive planes when one phone call to the MDA would be made to use a surface to air missile to bring down the plane - Penney is peddling this story and getting paid to do so, yet curiously, our Media doesn't display one ounce of interest in investigating her tale - not one bit. This is nothing more than a concocted feel-good girl power (Saving Private Ryan) story playing on the patriotism of the American people. I'm sure a movie-deal is in the making😁😁😂😂

Wow the instant decisions and the explanation they gave to a lot of questions on intercept whilst under attack is quite overwhelming. Unbelievable individuals.

Can you imagine their bravery? I’m so glad they didn’t have to die. Thank God planes are now armed in events such as this! RIP to the precious souls on Flight 93.

what bravery ? a B767 can't fight back so they had no reason to fear death, they just had to find the plane and shoot it down ...and live the rest of their life with their consciousness.

I can feel Lucky's restrained emotions. She appeared to be calm, collected, almost cold, but she was fighting back tears during the whole interview. The long pauses before she talked means that she was trying not to tear up. Especially when she talked about the Flight 93 heroes🥺❤️

Heather Penney is an amazing woman! I did not know her story until now. Those two pilots have ice in their veins. I've been the person running towards the danger before, but never to that degree. I don't know that I could. Amazing people, the two of them.

@mustanglady7843 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for this reporting. There is so much in it that I never knew. Heather Penney was very thoughtful and deliberate in her response, very impressive. Lt. Gen. Marc Sasseville seems like a man who is steady under pressure.

The things we didn't know about including this wonderful interview. Sass, Lucky, THANK YOU for your service and your willingness to protect and defend our country at all costs. And yes, thank you to the brave souls on Flight 93. "Let's Roll" will be engraved in my mind and heart forever. God bless you both!
