Amen. If the passengers hadn’t acted when they did, the Capital Building in Washington, D.C. would have hit, and possibly members of the U.S. Congress & the U.S. Senate would have been severely injured or killed.
I like the way the park service protects the ground where the plane impacted. Visitors only look from a distance. Sacred ground. Not a tourist attraction to be walked through for your entertainment.
I work right near the memorial in New York and while I can appreciate and respect what they did with it in honoring the victims and heroes, it’s disrespectful to say the least when I see people taking selfies and making duck faces and “influencers” posing in front of a victim’s name for Instagram.
@@mrmark8603 You can walk over people in a cemetery but their bodies are infact, underground, in a casket. There's pieces of people all over the impact site so it's understandable
I used to say all the time to my boys when we were leaving the house "Let's Roll" and after Sept 11th I NEVER said it again. After Todd Beamer used that signal to the passengers that had made a plan to storm the cockpit, I just could never use it again in such a casual statement to my boys to leave the house. I will never forget it when I heard that is what he said..... I was stunned. And I am in awe of the bravery of so many of these people. It is always better to stand on the neck of the enemy than to sit and wait to see what they are going to do....God Bless all those on 93
Ginny Redmond no telling what they would find if they looked in your mind. But after reading the ignorant, stupid nonsense of your post I somehow doubt that much would be found.
Park Ranger Adam Schaffer, what a reverent regard for your job and this important piece of American history. You, sir, represent the best of America, and I salute you.
I had the honor of being his employee for a year and I can say that his life revolves around honoring those 40 people on Flight 93. He would never take the credit for it, but he's an amazing man and the memorial is so lucky to have him.
I'm an old man now. Before my time comes up, I want to travel to Shanksville and pay my deepest respects to the brave passengers and crew of America's United Flight 93. We will never forget your courage and sacrifice.
Yes, very well put....... When they found out that terrorist had already attacked with jets the WTC in New York and the change of direction they knew what was happening. They knew it wasn't like in hostage situations of the past were they want money or freedom of jailed leaders, this was different. All of them knew it was do or die as they were dead anyway so they bravely decided to protect as many people in buildings from using their plane as a missile too by sacrificing themselves. So YES they were the first line of resistance.
It never fails, every year I have to cry for those whom we lost that terribly tragic day. I'm teary eyed as I type this. The thought of what was going through their heads before impact... My goodness!! It angers me, saddens me, depresses me -- I continue to pray for those families who've lost loved one(s). 🙏😔🇺🇸 God bless America!!
Same. Its super depressing and I just cant stop crying. When this happened, I was 8 years old, now that Im older and see the evil in this world and reflect back on this tragedy, it makes my stomach turn, this was a tragedy and I know families are still suffering from this.smh CeeCee Lyles husband said, it felt like a dream, but really its more like a nightmare. Just a complete real nightmare.
Looking at the video of the simulator of the plane about to crash had my whole being in chills .. I cant even imagine nor want to imagine .. may god bless all these families who struggle for the loss of their loved ones on this flight .. may these souls rest in peace .. I just wanna cry again !
A really well done tour of this most sacred and hallowed place. A debt of gratitude will always be owed to these brave men and women who fought back on the largest attack on American soil in history. God bless them, their families and God Bless America.
I'm so glad to hear they established a memorial for these brave souls. Thinking fast, knowing U would probably die but attemting to save others on the ground by making sure the plane didn't reach Washington. Now that is bravery at its finest.
going from a normal flight to knowing you're going to die and making a conscious decision to save others' lives, all in space of 35 minutes. That takes extreme guts and resolve. I don't think I could keep a clear head in such incredible circumstances.
I must admit for a long time I avoided anything related to that awful day but I am glad I clicked on this link, I am so pleased there is a fitting memorial that will be around for a long long time.
I was able to visit the memorial in August. It is ridiculously peaceful there. It was a beautiful day and there was a slight breeze. There was a line doe, grazing out by the Boulder that marks the impact area. It was, unbelievably poignant and serene to see. The visitors center is very well done , very powerful. I really encourage you all to visit if able. It was a wonderful stop on our way through Pennsylvania back home to Ohio. I didn’t listen to the phone calls made from those on the plane calling their loved ones as I knew I would cry and it was busy in there and didn’t want to distract from the museum and the patrons but it is a very heavy place to visit.
I feel bad I am praying for the please that pass away on the plane I have been there before it is sad to see them pass away thank you lord for helping them 💔😥
Was just there today. I cried tears of sadness. I also felt a huge amount of pride. These people went out fighting. They define the American spirit. I recommend going to the memorial. Absolutely beautiful tribute to the victims.
I visited this memorial, back when it was all outdoors. No museum, no paved walkway, etc. All the memorials were outside & there was a wall with various items, donated by visitors. It was 09/09/07, two days before President Bush visited. I was a Red Cross first responder, on my way home from Hurricane Ernesto. My partner & I listened to the stories of the passengers on board the flight that day. It was an emotional experience. There wasn't a dry eye there. I was told that once the new buildings, walkways, etc. were erected, the donated memorials were destroyed. It's a shame because there were a lot of cool items & many had personal messages written on them. I'm glad I took a lot of photos. In the beginning, the park consisted of a small building for the employees to use. There were wooden benches in rows, containing the names of the passengers & crew of Flight 93. We could see in the distance, where the plane crashed. The guide told us that had they hesitated & stayed in the air another 30 seconds or so, the plane would've taken out the school, which held every child from k-12! I'm glad I had the opportunity to visit the site, & pay my respects. I also visited Ground Zero when I visited NYC in 06. How anyone could contain such hatred in their hearts...I can't wrap my mind around it! May God be with those who were personally affected by these terrible attacks.

Disco Biker it was a temporary memorial at that time. I have a photo of the wooden angels as I know some one whose daughter was on the flight. I had her take a butterfly charm to leave on her daughter’s Angel. They have kept all the things left at the memorial.
The items left at the temporary memorial were not destroyed. All nonperishable items were collected, cataloged, and are stored in a preserving vault off site. Do not feel sad my friend...those items are in good hands. -A somerset county cop
To think that they boarded the plane as every day normal citizens, never knowing that their lives were going to be represented at a memorial site for decades to come because of their unimaginable bravery
The part where people are screaming in English "No!!!" Right as the plane impacts smh Im so scarred for life. This is still so traumatic. R.I.P and God Bless the citizens on flight 93 ❤
germanshepherds4life 526 I visited before all this stuff was built. All the memorials were outside. There was a wall full of items left by visitors. I left my Red Cross hat with a message, & signature. I was a Red Cross vol, on my way home from Hurricane Ernesto. My partner & I stopped to visit the site. President Bush visited 2 days after we left. Anyway, it was an emotional experience. I will never forget it. I heard all the memorials by early visitors were destroyed or packed away. I'm glad I took photos.
I'm so glad that they got a memorial, their bravery and sacrifice saved countless . . . . I mean they took a damn vote on what to do, that's so American it hurts . . . .
What disturbs me about 9/11 is the moments in the planes when the people new the plane was going to crash and how terrifying it would have been waiting for impact. I hope they didn’t feel anything and went into the light . I hope they believed something more than this side of life. May they be in peace
What a wonderful guide! In answer to the question, would I get involved and help to re-take the plane, the answer is yes. At that point, one has nothing to lose. Together we stand, divided, evil wins. Rest in peace Flight 93, you all earned your "wings".
When they ask what represents America. These people right here. They had the balls to take down highjackers on a plane. They wanted to live so bad. So...so..sad. Rest in peace heroes. True Americans. 💔✈️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😇😭
They are all the definition of not going down without a fight. A hell of a fight, at that. When Tod said “let’s roll”, they all knew it was time and what they had to do. Just unbelievably selfless, theh could’ve sat like ducks and I couldn’t have blamed them. Balls of steel.
the events of 9/11 are forever ingrained into our American consciousness. every few years or so I look back and reflect on where I was and how much the country changed on that day. the tragedy of the heroes of United 93 is timeless as life itself…it hits you to your core what they accomplished and died for our country. never has there been an surprise attack where everyday Americans were thrown into action to stop a faceless cowardly enemy…Never Forget
I'm glad to watch my late cousin Tom Burnett Jr trying stop 🛑 a high jackets. I been in June 2011 where he is BURAL at. Someday as another aunt who died of heart failure.
I cried looking at the pictures of the victims. Innocent peoples lives taken by idiotic people . I’m so sorry for people who lost their mom, dad , grandma , grandpa , sister , brother , children , etc.
So sad especially when ya see that simulation of how that plane was flying into the ground my stomach doing flip flops . I can imagine how for some of those passengers how terrifying knowing they gonna die either way with the hijackers or the hijackers were intent on committing a mass murder and gonna put the plane into the ground if they not gonna reach there target destination.
I was one month out of the police academy, working in Somerset county, on that morning. I will never forget that scene, or the heroes on that plane...no matter how trendy it is to forget. My friend Katie is a park ranger at that site. If you ever see her there, please tell her "Thank you." She is a steward of the heroes history.
They didn't feel anything and were not aware they were crashing. They were supersonic when they hit the floor the crash occurred faster than nerves conduct electricity they didn't even see the crash occurring. Wasn't there a farmer that saw it fly overhead and heard a sonic boom?
The terrorists were willing to sacrifice their lives in order to kill people. Ironically, the passengers sacrificed their lives and saved people. There's a kind of poetry about that.
I am a little obsessed with 9/11 and especially the passengers on the flights. I simply cannot get my head around what these people went through. I’m ex cabin crew with a thirty year career, and I know every sound and nuance onboard a jet liner. I can sadly imagine everything that went on; from the innocent happy chat of the crew starting their duty day, the clink of the breakfast trays, to the deafening whine of the engines and the cracks and creaks of the aircraft being put under unbearable pressure. It defies belief what happened on September 11 2001. God rest their souls. I also wonder why anyone would give these Rangers such a stupid, unflattering hat.
These people are true heroes. They tried. They tried so hard. Their efforts surely saved many more lives. May they rest in peace.
Amen. If the passengers hadn’t acted when they did, the Capital Building in Washington, D.C. would have hit, and possibly members of the U.S. Congress & the U.S. Senate would have been severely injured or killed.

I like the way the park service protects the ground where the plane impacted. Visitors only look from a distance. Sacred ground. Not a tourist attraction to be walked through for your entertainment.
Like a cemetery?

His dad was the volunteer fire chief and first responder when flight 93 crashed. The entire family is amazing.

I loved that he took off his hat before he entered the building as a sign of respect. THANK YOU 😊 🙏

It's really a great place for reflection. Makes me feel so small amongst such a terrible loss of life
It is a very calm place
I’m going there this year with my girl. She lost her mother on 9/11.
I hope you did make it!
Words well spoken by Mr. Shaffer. An amazing tour guide. Not to forget an inspiring story of courage and bravery to be told for centuries to come.
They were very brave on 09/11/01 & I’ll never forget them; I can’t 🇺🇸
Brave souls everyone of them. I must visit this memorial and very soon.
I'm hoping to visit this memorial myself someday to pay my respects. It may not be soon but hopefully later.
Me too. I would like to pay my respects to the passengers and crew of Flight 93. May their souls Rest In Peace.
