United Airlines Flight 93, Crash site in Pennsylvania
United Airlines Flight 93 was a domestic scheduled passenger flight that was hijacked by four al-Qaeda terrorists on board, as part of the September 11 attacks.
The United 93 was the only plane that did not reach its hijackers' intended target; it crashed into a field in Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001.
Flight 93 has become synonymous with heroic resistance and collective bravery, symbolizing post-9/11 America.
Today, the crash site serves as a national memorial park, which includes a visitor center and a Wall of Names commemorating the victims.
Unlike other terrorist-hijacked planes on September 11, crew and passengers aboard United 93 attempted to retake control of their flight, halting further destruction.
