Flight 93 National Memorial

In Memory of 40 Heroes

Located in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania, the Flight 93 National Memorial honors the 40 crew and passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 who died on September 11, 2001. The flight was hijacked by terrorists who intended to attack Washington, DC.  The plane crashed in a field near Shanksville after passengers and crew fought back against the terrorists who had taken control of the flight.
