WHY THE PASSENGERS HAD TIME TO ACT
Flight 93 was 41 minutes late leaving Newark Airport for its planned
flight to San Francisco. This delay allowed time for the passengers
on Flight 93 to learn of the other three hijackings via their cell
phones, and realize their planned fate; being a passenger on a jumbo
jet that would be flown into the US Capitol Building in Washington,
DC, or perhaps even the White House.
As the Boeing 757 neared Cleveland, Ohio at 9:28am, it abruptly
changed course and turned southeast. Just before 10:00am the plane
was seen flying very low and erratically in the Pittsburgh area.
While traveling at an estimated 500 mph, the 757 crashed at 10:03am
into a reclaimed strip mine area in Somerset County, killing all 33
passengers, 7 crew and 4 hijackers.

ANGELS OF FREEDOM
Few can begin to understand what drives men to such acts of
desperation, But the World must now know the resolve of this great
nation is both unshakeable and unstoppable.
This day ordinary Americans took extraordinary steps to help their
fellow Americans and by doing so gave the greatest sacrifice.
And so these Angels of Freedom stand not as a memorial to those who
died, but rather as a celebration of their lives for which we will
forever be in their debt.
God Bless the Families and Friends of The Heroes of September 11,
2001.

SYMBOL OF FAITH
By Tom Lavis
October 22, 2001
Teams of emergency personnel who responded to the crash of United
Airlines Flight 93 near Shanksville made a discovery that shocked
and inspired them. Resting not far from the smoldering, 25-foot-deep
crater where 40 innocent victims perished, firefighters found a
Bible that was barely singed. Only minutes before, the area had been
a raging inferno as jet fuel ignited into a fireball when the plane
plowed into the earth.
See update above:
Whose Bible was it then?
|
 |
|
Kuge's Bible
It was later learned that the
Bible in the news article belonged to a 20 year old
Japanese man.
The leather cover on Toshiya Kuge's Bible was singed, but none of the pages were
burned.
