She wasn't crying, she didn't even sound frightened. She told me her plane was hijacked and that they didn't know she was making a phone call.

She said it had been hijacked shortly after takeoff. By this time, the plane had been in the air - again, I'm presuming that it took off on time - for over an hour.

I immediately called the command center of the Department of Justice to let them know that my wife was on a plane that had been hijacked. I mainly wanted them know there was another hijacked plane out there.

Hi baby. Baby, you have to listen to me very carefully. I'm on a plane that's been hijacked ... I'm trying to be calm.

I wanted it not to be true. I wanted it not to be her plane. I wanted it - I wanted, if it was her plane, to have somehow survived because she was in the back of the airplane. But we know that doesn't happen, not with those sorts of things.

Islam was hijacked on that September 11, 2001, on that plane, as an innocent victim.
