 ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - The cockpit recording from the hijacked jetliner that passengers tried to retake on Sept. 11 will be played in public for the first time — at the sentencing trial of al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui — the judge ruled Wednesday.
U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema said the jury considering whether to execute Moussaoui could hear the recording from United Airlines Flight 93 and see a transcript of it.
The flight is best known for one passenger's rallying cry to other passengers, "Let's roll," which was overheard over a cell phone connection between a passenger and a family member on the ground.
