9/11 Inside the Pentagon

In the past 15 years we have seen the Towers fall again and again in a series of powerful documentaries and TV shows. Movies have expertly rendered the courage of first responders and the passenger takeover on United Flight 93.

Pentagon 9/11 survivor recalls rescue effort after attack

 

One of the hijacked jetliners on 9/11 was American Airlines Flight 77. It crashed into the Pentagon, killing 59 passengers and crew on board along with 125 military and civilian personnel inside the building. Those victims will be remembered at a ceremony at the Pentagon Saturday morning. CBS News national security correspondent David Martin has the story of one survivor who helped others escape.
