SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, SAN FRANCISCO, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

(Stephanie Hoover, age 14)

Stephanie nearly overslept that she almost missed her flight with her class, but finally made it just in time before they announced their flight, Hawaiian Airlines Flight 90, bound for Honolulu as her and her class has been selecting for an educational cruise of a lifetime. Stephanie and her class, along with the two chaperones all board the plane and at 3:49 AM, Flight 90 takes off from San Francisco.

Stephanie and her friends were excited on going on a cruise that they had no idea that five men inside first class were about to shatter their dreams and take control of the aircraft, all part of the deadliest terror attacks in history.

At 4:16 AM PST (9:14 AM EST), around the same time as Alaska Airlines Flight 135 crashed into the Hancock Place, the hijackers took over the aircraft as they stabbed a flight attendant and a passenger who tries to stop one of the hijackers. One of them has a bomb as the remaining hijackers either kill the pilots or shoved everyone to the back of the plane. Stephanie and her friends were scared and shocked that they were being hijacked until they received phone calls from their parents to check up on them to see if they were okay after they heard what happened in New York, DC, Chicago, and Boston at the same time, the hijackers has officially turned the plane around and made an announcement that not only the passengers and crew heard, but air traffic controllers has heard and recorded it as well, saying that they will head back to the airport and meet their demands.

Everyone knew that it was a lie because the passengers and crew has received news of other attacks and realized that they were going to be killed by these guys. Some of them were planning on regaining control of the plane when the hijackers overheard and sprayed mace and some toxic materials within the cabin, making some of them sick as others were coughing up the toxic materials before dying.

Stephanie tries to not breathe in the chemicals, but it was too much for her so, she slowly losing consciousness before dying as her mother tried to call out to her before losing contact with the plane.

AT 4:28 AM PACIFIC STANDARD TIME, HAWAIIAN AIRLINES FLIGHT 90 CRASHED INTO THE TRANS-AMERICA PYRAMID IN DOWNTOWN SAN FRANCISCO, KILLING ALL 89 PEOPLE ONBOARD AND OVER 200 PEOPLE INISDE THE BUILDING.
