Flight 93

Pastor Leatherman took us missionaries up to Shanksville, PA, the sight of the crash of Flight 93 in 2001.  It was a very moving experience.  

This leads to an observation deck overlooking the crash site.

 It's a huge open field that used to be a strip mine. 

Video recordings of the news looped about the events of that morning.

The crash pit 

The rock is where the plane landed.  No one is allowed to go there.

One of the men that tried to thwart the terrorists.  His wife wrote the book about Todd called "let's Roll"  a very good read.

What you can barely see is "and her unborn child" 

Wall of Remembrance 

This is a very fitting memorial.   The Park Service did a good job in capturing the events and tragedy of the day.  May we never forget.
