On September 11th, 2001. 4 Commercial Airliners were hijacked 2 of which struck the World Trade center, 1 of which struck the Pentagon.
The last hijaked flight, United 93, was on it's course to (assumably) crash into the White House.
In a desperate attempt to save the country and it's captial. Secretary Rumsfeld authorized John Fletchin to brainjack the foreign hijacker and force them into the ground.
This happened shortly before 35 passengers barged their way into the cockpit.
Their screams were priceless.
