When family members of the passengers and crew of Flight 93 arrived at the crash site in September 2001, authorities escorted them to this overlook. From a distance, they saw the crash site for the first time, and viewed the investigation and recovery operation already underway.
Family members left deeply personal messages, mementos, and flowers for their loved ones at a makeshift memorial at the edge of this overlook.
The world's lasting impression of the Flight 93 crash site was shaped by the media images and broadcasts from this ridge.
Today a large sandstone boulder marks the crash site. |
