WMS Map: Flight 93 Memorial - 1993 and Today

About Flight 93 Memorial - 1993 and Today ....

The Flight 93 National Memorial commemorates the crash of United Airlines Flight 93, which was one of four aircraft hijacked in the September 11 attacks. The memorial is located in Stonycreek Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, about 2 miles north of Shanksville and 60 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

Back in 1993, the site was a coal strip mine that was starting to be restored. History changed things on September 11, 2001, and over the past twenty years has been restored into a Nation Monument, recognizing that tragic day.
