Flight 93 National Memorial

This is a photo of our first visit to the Flight 93 Memorial in 2013. The Flight 93 National Memorial is located at the site of the crash of United Airlines Flight 93, which was hijacked in the September 11 attacks, in Stonycreek Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania.

Fast forward 3 years to the new Flight 93 National Memorial.  

A new 26 million dollar facility that is a fitting tribute to the 40 men and women that perished that September day.  We toured the memorial site with our friends Vaughn and Margie Woods.  

The day started out like any other day.

The second plane hits the second tower.

At 9:25 a.m. the FAA orders a nationwide ground stop of all flights.  

This shows the flight path of United Airlines Flight 93.

Here you can listen to actual calls from individuals on board to their love ones.  Many of these calls will make you cry.

This display is dedicated to first responders. 

Here actual debris that was found at the crash site is displayed.  

This display includes items that were left at the site from fellow Americans honoring these heroes.  Due to the tremendous number of items placed at the site, the display will be changed this year with other items that were also placed at the site.  

Here is a list of all the people that were killed that dreadful September day.

If you click to enlarge this photo you will see a boulder that represents the actual crash site of United Airlines Flight 93.  May God bless those brave souls and may they never ever be forgotten.
