Flight 93 National Memorial fire destroys 3 buildings

SHANKSVILLE, Pa. – A fire at the Flight 93 National Memorial destroyed three administrative buildings on Friday, leaving officials concerned about some of the memorabilia and archival material stored there.

Wind-whipped flames didn't touch the under-construction memorial and visitors center, which are about 2 miles away on the large property in rural western Pennsylvania, National Park Service spokesman Mike Litterst said. No one was injured in the fire, whose cause is under investigation.

The buildings comprised the park's headquarters, with conference facilities, storage space and the superintendent's office. About 10 percent of the memorial's archival collection was kept on site, and many objects were in fireproof safes, officials said.

I'll bet they find out that Muslims did it.

I doubt it 9:29.Muslims failed to accomplish their mission in 2001 when the plane was shot down by American jet fighters.The last thing they would want to do is create a martyr in our honor.
