Why go there?

The Flight 93 National Memorial commemorates the crash of United Airlines Flight 93, which was one of four aircraft hijacked in the September 11, 2001, attacks. The memorial is located in Stonycreek Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, about two miles (three kilometers) north of Shanksville and 60 miles (100 kilometers) southeast of Pittsburgh. The national memorial was dedicated on September 10, 2011, and the main phase of construction was completed in November of that year. The memorial includes a plaza with a wall of names, a tower of voices, and a reflecting pool. It also has a visitor center with exhibits about the hijacked flight and the search and recovery effort.
