SHANKSVILLE, Pa. – After two days of reflection and honours, there is one more remembrance for the families of those who perished aboard United Airlines Flight 93 in Pennsylvania: A private funeral of remains recovered from that crash.
The newly christen Flight 93 National Memorial will be closed until 2 p.m. EDT Monday while the remains – kept in three caskets in a crypt for nearly 10 years – are interred in a private ceremony for some family members of the passengers and crew aboard Flight 93.
The ceremony will take place at what’s called the Sacred Ground site in the fields near Shanksville, the rural area southeast of Pittsburgh where the Boeing 757 knifed into the ground while some passengers fought four terrorists for control of the hijacked plane.
