Itinerary

Our itinerary is as follows:

Jack Hotz, Driving Tour Managercollapse this area

I made today's tour a voluntary choice for attendees as I believe the experience of the Flight 93 Memorial should be individualized as much as possible. On September 11, 2001, terrorists seized control of 4 commercial airliners. We all know what happened and I cannot bear to repeat it even now. One plane was out over Pennsylvania when the terrorists took control and turned the plane toward Washington, D.C., we assume hoping to crash into the White House or the Capitol Building.

The passengers, having heard through their cell phones what was occurring in New York City and at the Pentagon, knew their lives were forfeit in any case. As true American heroes, they rallied together and with the cry of, 'Let's Roll,' attacked and overpowered the terrorists resulting in the plane crashing into the farm fields north of Shanksville, PA. It has taken these many years to acquire property, establish services to this remote area, and build the memorial itself. There are 40 bells, one for each American who died on this plane. They say you can hear their voices when the wind blows through them.
