What are the full, name-by-name victim lists for United Airlines Flight 175 and where are they archived?

1. Where the canonical, engraved names are archived

The names of victims associated with Flight 175 are engraved on the National September 11 Memorial & Museum’s South Pool panels — specifically cited as Panel S-2 for Flight 175 victims — which serves as a permanent, physical archive of those killed on the South Tower and aboard the aircraft ^{[1] [5]}. The Memorial is the principal on-site public record where names are presented together with contextual information about the attack and individual panels are used to group victims by location and affiliation on that day ^[1].

2. Government and commission records that contain full lists

The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (the 9/11 Commission) and associated official documents include passenger manifests and victim lists that have been archived in government collections and referenced in public documents; summary entries and a complete victim list are cited in archived Commission materials and related official PDFs ^[3]. These records are the authoritative administrative sources used by historians and officials when reconciling passenger counts and identities ^[3].

3. Contemporary newspaper archives and media lists

Major newspapers published name-by-name listings in the immediate aftermath: The New York Times ran a “Partial List of Passengers on United Airlines Flight 175” on Sept. 13, 2001, and the Los Angeles Times maintains a partial list and reporting on victims tied to Flight 175; both newspapers’ archives remain searchable and serve as contemporaneous public record sources ^{[2] [4]}. Such media lists were compiled from airline manifests, family notifications and official statements and remain important archival snapshots even where later reconciliations occurred ^{[2] [4]}.

4. Online memorials and community compilations — availability and caveats

Several online memorial pages and community-maintained lists reproduce full name-by-name manifests for Flight 175, including dedicated pages that present crew and passenger names in list form (for example, community sites like AnniesHomepage and firefighter union pages that archived crew lists), and cached compilations by local media such as Boston.com’s anniversary package ^{[6] [7] [8]}. These are valuable for accessibility but can contain transcription errors or formatting differences and should be cross-checked against the Memorial or government records ^{[6] [8]}.

5. Count discrepancies, hijacker inclusion, and why sources differ

Most authoritative sources record either 65 people aboard (including five hijackers) or explicitly note 56 passengers and 9 crew plus five hijackers, leading to variations in how lists are presented and labeled in civilian archives; Britannica and other overviews summarize the numbers used in official reporting ^{[9] [7]}. Fan wikis and enthusiast pages sometimes conflate figures or include contextual narrative about the hijackers and crew, so those pages should be treated as secondary and checked against the Memorial or Commission records ^{[10] [5]}.

6. Practical next steps for researchers seeking the full name-by-name list

For a definitive, name-by-name list that will be treated as canonical: consult the National September 11 Memorial & Museum’s South Pool panel listings and the National Commission/official government archives; supplement those with contemporaneous newspaper casualty lists from The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, and use community compilations only to cross-reference or locate additional biographical details ^{[1] [3] [2] [4]}. The public online reproductions on official museum pages and archived government PDFs should be prioritized for accuracy; community sites are useful for narrative context but require verification ^{[6] [8]}.
