Flight United 93 remembered, September 11, 2001

FILE- This Monday, Aug. 1, 2011 file photo shows Lloyd Smith, left, and Laura Sprankle of Hagerstown, Md., as they visit the overlook at the temporary Flight 93 memorial in Shanksville, Pa. In the background are a grove of sweet gum trees that were donated to the Flight 93 National Memorial by the organizers of the Sept. 11 Memorial in New York. In one sense, Shanksville is a tiny village far from major cities and cultural attractions. But the crash of Flight 93 in a field there on Sept. 11, 2001 has brought visitors from around the world to the national park site that now marks the spot where the hijacked plane came down.
