SHANKSVILLE, Pa. (UPI) -- Ground was broken Saturday for a memorial to
the passengers of United Flight 93 who crashed it in western
Pennsylvania to foil hijackers on Sept. 11, 2001.
U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar promised the memorial would be
completed by the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that also
toppled the World Trade Center twin towers in New York and damaged the
Pentagon in Washington.
"On behalf of a grateful nation, we say to the men and women of Flight
93 who gave their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, to prevent terrorists from
attacking our nation's capital 'We will never forget you,'" Salazar
said. "This national memorial will always stand to honor you and to
remind future generations that you fought and were victorious over the
forces of evil."
The plane, flying from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco, was one of four
planes hijacked in 2001. The 40 passengers, who knew from cell phone
conversations, that hijackers had flown into the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon, decided to retake the plane or bring it down.
Investigators believe the hijackers intended to aim the plane at the
Capitol or White House.
Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., also
attended the ceremony.
