A Memorial Landscape:
Much of the landscape of Flight 93 National Memorial is unchanged from its appearance on September 11, 2001, when hijacked Flight 93 passed over these fields. These 2,200 acres of rural Pennsylvania, now protected by the National Park Service, bear scars of past coal mining, offer vistas of the distant mountain ridges, and are home to many species of birds and other wildlife. But through plantings and carefully planned, but simple construction, the land itself is being transformed into a memorial to the passengers and crew of Flight 93. Completion of the Visitor Center Complex is anticipated for 2015. The memorial offers space for reelection, learning, and healing. |
