The "place" may be forgotten.....but Flight 93 is not. "Flight 93" is iconic...mention it..and most Americans who were over age 15 that day instantly rememebr it..whereas hardly anyone could tell you the flight numbers of the other 3 planes..

It is remembered for the courage, and the grace of the passengers who took the actions necessary to protect the lives of others.

There have been some wonderful depictions of the events on that flight..showing how the passengers got the news of the other crashes, and how they communicated with their loved ones..especially the awesome "Let's Roll!!"

What is never depicted ( and rightly so) but no doubt obvious to most of the passengers, was that they were already dead....they had nothing to lose...

Thanks for posting this. It gave me an opening to explain Flight 93 to my 9 year-old son.

I think the heroic people on Flight 93 and the loyal and faithful people on the ground in Shanksville are so important. They remind us what a deep bench we have. There are so many good, decent, brave Americans that a random assortment of them on a plane could defeat a terrorist plot. And a random location in Pennsylvania could serve as their memorial because the people who happened to live in the area had what it took to keep their memory alive, for years, because they thought it was the right thing to do.

God bless America.

“don’t move or you will injure yourself or the airplane”.— Mohammed Atta 9/11/01

He was very moderate in how concerned he was about peace on the airplane.

He was peaceful day and night also. And bade the passengers to co-operate. To do otherwise would be Islamaphobic.

These visitors have left behind so far about 40,000 tribute items: police badges, fireman's hats, tiny flags with messages written on the white stripes, a purple heart, and even a brick from the seized Afghanistan compound of Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar. "Placed here in tribute to the first warriors of the Global War on Terror," reads a note attached to the brick.

Many thanks for this posting, flowerplough.
