United Flight 93 differed from the other three hijacked flights in that it was the only flight in which passengers had received information through cell phone calls informing them that the other hijacked flights had been used by the terrorists to crash into targets on the ground (Larsen, 2007; Longman, 2002).

Healthcare The Pilgrims Must Embark addresses specific issues associated with treating persons with AIDS (PWA). The film exhibits the importance of cultural sensitivity and communications in nursing.
