On the 25th Anniversary of 9/11, States Newsroom Editor Remembers the Heroes of Flight 93
The memorial draws more than 400,000 visitors a year as families and officials preserve artifacts and honor the 40 people who died aboard the hijacked plane.
- The Flight 93 National Memorial in Stonycreek Township, Pennsylvania, marks 25 years since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, honoring the 40 passengers and crew who died preventing the hijacked plane from reaching its believed target, the U.S. Capitol.
- On that day, al-Qaida terrorists hijacked four commercial planes, crashing three into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon; United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in an open field after passengers and crew attempted to wrest control from hijackers.
- Memorial Superintendent Stephen Clark said more than 400,000 visitors annually tour the federally managed park, where curator Betsy Keene manages about 9,300 cataloged objects including aircraft fragments recovered by more than 1,500 Federal Bureau of Investigation response members.
- Pennsylvania Capital-Star Editor-in-Chief Tim Lambert, who recently revisited the site, said watching the land heal over the 25-year period reminds visitors of the sacrifices made by the passengers and crew.
- Clark noted that even as years pass, the memorial remains a vital glimpse into a defining moment in the nation's history, with officials emphasizing the importance of preserving these stories for future generations.
