The official groundbreaking ceremony was held today in Shanksville for the Flight 93 National Memorial. This is for the permanent memorial this is set to be opened by September 11, 2011.
These 40 passengers and crew took their destiny's into their own hands and decided to stand up and fight back against the 4 men who had plans to fly the plane into the US Capitol. Unlike the other flights, they had enough time to do something, and they were aware of what was going on and knew what fate what coming. They tempted fate with their actions and they knew chances were they wouldn't survived, but they fought until the end when their plane crashed into a field outside of Pittsburgh. 20 minutes flying time from Washington DC.
All our lives were changed by the attacks of 9/11. For me, it didn't help with my fear of flying. But if I didn't get back on an airplane after the attacks, I know the hijacker's would've won. But God forbid if anyone (including me) is in this situation again, I would hope I would have the same courage they had on 9/11.
