Flight 93 Remembered at New Memorial in Pennsylvania

  • vor 13 Jahren
A ceremony on the tenth anniversary of the crash of Flight 93 on 9/11 occurred earlier today near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. A national memorial has been constructed at the site and was dedicated yesterday in a ceremony featuring remarks by former Presidents Clinton and Bush.

The United Airlines plane was carrying 33 passengers and 7 crew members when it went down in a field about an hour southeast of Pittsburgh. Those on board are credited with preventing the hijackers from flying the plane into a Washington, DC-area building like the U.S. Capitol.
