United Airlines Flight 175 was a scheduled U.S. domestic passenger flight from Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts to Los Angeles International Airport. The flight was hijacked by five al-Qaeda-associated Islamist terrorists on the morning of September 11, 2001, and flown into the South Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City as part of the September 11 attacks. The hijackers forcefully breached the cockpit, approximately thirty minutes into the flight, and overpowered the pilot and first officer. Marwan al-Shehhi, who was trained as a pilot, took over the controls. Air traffic controllers noticed the flight was in distress when the crew stopped responding to them. Several passengers and crew aboard made phone calls from the plane and provided information about the hijackers and injuries to passengers and crew.

The aircraft crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center at 09:03, killing all 65 people aboard, including the hijackers. The Flight 175 hijacking was coordinated with that of American Airlines Flight 11, which had struck the top of the North Tower seventeen minutes earlier. The crash of Flight 175 into the South Tower was seen live on television around the world as it happened. The impact and subsequent fire caused the South Tower to collapse, 59 minutes later, resulting in hundreds of additional casualties. During the recovery effort at the World Trade Center site, workers recovered and identified remains from Flight 175 victims, but many other body fragments could not be identified.
