Flight 93 flying from Newark, New Jersey to San Francisco, California
was
attacked by terrorists over Ohio. The terrorists turned the plane to fly
back east
and when the passengers found out by phone what was happening that
morning in New York,
they decided to fight back.

When you first arrive on the site, you
see the fence and the benches and it takes you a moment
to actually realize
where the crash took place. A flag has been placed there to mark the site.
It
is quite a distance out in the field.
Benches with the names of the
crew and passengers face outward toward the crash site.
Behind the
benches is a fence where visitors can leave a flag or other momento.
Facing
the benches is a row of angels, one for each of the passengers and crew.
A
permanent national memorial is being planned.
Two small wallpaper size images:
On
the left is a grouping of photos of stones that have been put up at the site
by individuals and groups.
On the right are some of the flags flying at the
site.
