Complete information about visiting the Flight 93 National Memorial is now on National Park Planner!
On the morning of September 11, 2001, four groups of terrorists boarded four commercial airplanes. Their goal was to hijack the planes and then fly them into important, symbolic targets of the United States. Three of the planes hit their targets: the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Only United Airlines Flight 93 failed, thwarted by the passengers who ultimately gave their lives in a struggle to regain control of the airplane. Realizing they were fighting a losing battle once the counter attack began, the terrorists opted to fly the plane into the ground, killing all on board.
