These pictures tell the story of Flight 93. You see the horror of the crash, the crash site, the open graves, the sacred ground. Citizens planting a Cross and praying for the passengers, crew, their families and our Country. Let's not change this crash site, let's not try to make it "pretty" .....it was not pretty 9/11, and it never will be.
Let's not let anyone rewrite the Flight 93 story.
No Beverly, let's rewrite the Flight 93 story. The first version sucked.
