Historical Notes
In summer 2000, Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi and Ziad Jarrah attended the Huffman Aviation International flight school in Venice, Florida. They were later implicated as the hijacker pilots of Flight 11 and Flight 175. This rug was placed at the double-glass door entrance to the Huffman school at the time they were in attendance.
