Friday's fire in Shanksville destroyed the park's headquarters complex. State police and the park service are conducting a joint investigation into the blaze, whose cause hasn't been determined, the park service said.
Park staff completed an initial inventory Saturday and said that, in addition to the flag, the losses included a handful of personal items of passengers and crew, DVD copies of the annual commemoration ceremony and meetings of the Flight 93 National Memorial Federal Advisory Commission, and about 100 tribute items left by visitors since 2001.

The Memorial is said to offer proof that a plane actually hit the ground on September 11, 2001.
ReplyDeleteNow that proof is unfortunately gone. Many nay-sayers will have to wait more time to see the proof they have awaited.
I remember the day (Sept 11, 2001).
ReplyDeleteThere was hardly a trace of anything at that site.
The plane simply disappeared into the ground! It was unbelievable. Just goes to show if a plane hits the ground directly (straight down trajectory) there will be NOTHING left of it.
I have never seen another plane crash with so little left over from the wreckage.
