United accidentally reinstated 9/11 flight numbers
United accidentally reinstated 9/11 flight numbers. United Airlines apologized yesterday for reinstating flight numbers of planes that perished during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The airline posted this on its Facebook page:We discovered that flight numbers 93 and 175 were inadvertently reinstated in our future schedule. We regret the error, apologize and are taking immediate steps to remove the numbers from our system.
Flight 175 originated at Logan International Airport and was bound for Los Angeles International Airport before being hijacked and flown into the South Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. Flight 93 took off from Newark, N.J., and crashed in a Pennsylvania field after an attempt by passengers to wrest control of the plane from terrorists.
