On the morning of September 11, 2001, United Flight 93 from Newark to San Francisco was hijacked by four Al-Qaeda terrorists, who, it is believed, intended to crash the plane into the U.S. Capitol. Thanks to the selfless bravery of the flight crew and the passengers on board, the terrorists were overpowered and the plane crashed into a hillside in Pennsylvania, killing everyone on board, but averting greater tragedy.

The Flight 93 National Memorial tells the story of that fateful day, presenting an emotional and interactive visitors center, a memorial wall, a walking path, and the opportunity to listen to actual phone calls made by passengers onboard the flight. The memorial is run by the National Park Service and knowledgeable rangers and volunteers are on hand to answer questions.

Address: Flight 93 National Memorial, 6424 Lincoln Highway, Storytown, PA 15563, Phone: 814-893-6322
