farmer52 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Today (Saturday) the wife, 2 of her friends, and I visited the Flight 93 Memorial near Stoystown, PA. It is an impressive but somber place. The story about the plane crash and recovery efforts is very interesting. One of the guides said only 8% of the bodies (parts) were recovered. The remains are "buried" at the site - it is one large grave. It is definitely worth the time to visit and get an understanding of what happened on September 11, 2001. One can only imagine what went thru the passengers' minds and also the area residents that day. September 11 will always be remembered as I was flying from Cleveland, OH to Phoenix, AZ that morning.Here is the link to some images I took at the Memorialhttp://s1305.photobucket.com/user/pafarmer52/library/Flight%2093%20Memorial#/user/pafarmer52/library/Flight%2093%20Memorial?sort=2&page=1&_suid=13731568474840054683887953974775 1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31851-flight-93-memorial/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

grayhair Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 9/11 a sad day we will never forget. I remeber reading about this plane and some of the passengers trying to get control off the plane frtom the scum bag but too late, he had already put it in a dive apparently. They were heros for trying. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31851-flight-93-memorial/#findComment-193143 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Reinhart Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 They kept the plane from hitting it`s target by using self sacrifice.

Green Dash Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Thanks for sharing the photos. I visited the makeshift memorial a few years ago which was quite an experience.

slpwlker Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 It just takes your breathe away what they went though trying to get back control. Got some pics at the original memorial before they moved it.

bulldogboy Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Beautiful countryside, now hallowed ground. I can't imagine what was going through the minds of those passengers; true American heroes.
