Aero Linx: Flight 93 National
Memorial
On Tuesday morning,
September 11, 2001, the U.S. came under attack when four commercial
airliners were hijacked and used to strike targets on the ground.
Nearly 3,000 people tragically lost their lives. Because of the
actions of the 40 passengers and crew aboard one of the planes,
Flight 93, the attack on the U.S. Capitol was thwarted. The Flight
93 National Memorial has a place on the nation's honor roll of
iconic places which includes Gettysburg and Pearl Harbor. Why is
this ground so special? Why is this story so important? What began
as an ordinary morning ended as a historic day when a common field
in Pennsylvania was forever changed.
