On Tuesday morning, September 11, 2001, the U.S. came under attack when four commercial airliners were hijacked and used to strike targets on the ground. Nearly 3,000 people tragically lost their lives. Because of the actions of the 40 passengers and crew aboard one of the planes, Flight 93, the attack on the U.S. Capitol was thwarted.
This striking Memorial is on the grounds where that plane crash landed.
Each of the passengers and all of the crew that were on the plane are individually memorialized at this vast site where a simple boulder in an empty field marks the exact spot where the plane crashed.
An indoor museum tells the story of the day and a striking "tower of voices" memorializes those remembered here.
This is a beautiful, striking forever memorial -- a place that you will never forget!
