Government Plans Permanent Flight 93 Memorial
SOMERSET, Pa. (AP) ―
The government board that's planning a permanent Flight 93 memorial will hold meetings outside Pennsylvania next year in an effort to engage people from other parts of the country.
The Flight 93 Federal Advisory Commission voted Saturday to hold 2007 quarterly conferences in San Francisco on April 28th and in New York on October 27th. The other meetings will be held January 27th and July 28th in the usual location of Somerset.
A permanent memorial is being planned for a 1,700 acre site for the victims of Flight 93, which was flying from Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco when it was hijacked and crashed into a field near Shanksville on September 11, 2001.
A temporary memorial has been erected near the crash site, which is not open to the public.
