A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.

Flight 93 Memorial


Families of four victims who died on hijacked U.A Flight 93 in 2001 held a news conference in Pittsburgh.

They are past ready to commence work on the Shanksville memorial. The memorial is to commemorate where the hijacked airliner crashed on Sept. 11– a memorial to the only one of four hijacked planes that the passengers prevented from crashing into a building.

There have been objections that the shape of the planned memorial is reminiscent of the islamic hijackers.
