On the morning of September 11, 2001, Dan Caine was one of four military pilots tasked with taking down any commercial planes entering the airspace around Washington, D.C. Ultimately, Caine and his fellow pilots were not faced with that decision. United Airlines flight 93, the last hijacked plane flying that day, was headed toward Washington but crashed in a Pennsylvania field when passengers stormed the cockpit.
