60 minutes. Air war at home
Description
On the morning of Sept. 11, three air National Guard fighter pilots were sent into battle to execute what would have been one of the most terrible orders ever given to a U.S. officer: to shoot down an airliner with innocent Americans aboard. The guardsmen were the last defense standing between United Flight 93 and its presumed target, the White House. Those pilots haven't spoken publicly - until now. Scott Pelley reports.
