Flight 93 National Memorial- “America Attacked”
On September 24, 2002 President Bush signed into law the Flight 93 National Memorial Act. The Act created a new national park unit to commemorate the passengers and crew of Flight 93 who, on September 11, 2001, courageously gave their lives thereby thwarting a planned attack on our Nation’s capital. The memorial is located near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where Flight 93 crashed along with its 40 passengers and crew members. “America Attacked” is the story of what happened on the plane using eyewitness accounts of passengers and crew, what is heard on the cockpit voice recorder (black box), what was recorded on answering machines, and the interviews with the family members conducted by the FBI.
