He reconstructs a blow-by-blow narrative, profiling the hijackers and all the courageous passengers and crew, including Mark Bingham, Jeremy Glick and Todd Beamer, who were aware from calls made to their loved ones of the attacks on the World Trade Center and knew they were likely to suffer a similar fate, possibly killing thousands of innocent people in the process.Collating all the available material, eyewitness interviews, desperate last phone calls to family and the captain's tape, 'Among the Heroes' is a gripping account of a real life and death drama, a story of heroic struggle and brave decisions, full of intense emotion.
