An air steward aboard an aircraft about to take off on 9/11 informed FBI agents that there were six strange passengers on her plane, and she believes her plane was supposed to be the fifth plane in the terrorist assault.

Who is Sandy Thorngren? 

Sandy Thorngren worked as a flight attendant on United 23, a plane that was waiting on the tarmac at New York’s JFK airport on the morning of September 11, 2001. The aircraft was scheduled to take off at 9am but was recalled to the gate after the second tower of the World Trade Center was struck at 9:03am.

In the aftermath of the incident, the FBI contacted Thorngren and her colleagues to arrange interviews with them regarding the events that had transpired on the airplane. The agents individually talked to the crew members in their hotel rooms.

Thorngren revealed to TMZ INVESTIGATES: 9/11: THE FIFTH PLANE, which airs on Fox at 9pm ET on Monday, that she had informed the investigators that she suspected certain passengers on the plane.

She said that she felt that there were suspicious people on board, and she pointed out precisely four individuals seated in first class and two gentlemen in business. Thorngren added that she specifically noticed one person in the group who was experiencing uncontrollable perspiration, and she brought it to the attention of the investigators.

United 23 was not included in the official report of the 9/11 Commission, and no arrests were made of any of the passengers aboard the plane. The US authorities have not provided any statements concerning the years of speculation that the flight was intended to be a fifth plane targeted in the attack.

The terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, is still the deadliest attack carried out by terrorists in American history, resulting in the loss of 2,977 lives in four different locations.

In the years since 9/11, many have sought to understand the causes and motives behind the attack. While the reasons for the attack are complex and multifaceted, it is clear that it was carried out by a small group of individuals with a twisted ideology.
