Flight 93 temporary memorial moving during work

SHANSVILLE, Pa. (AP) — A temporary memorial set up near where Flight 93 crashed during the 2001 terror attacks will be relocated while construction is under way for a permanent memorial.

The National Park Service says a new visitor area known as the Western Overlook will open July 8. The site was originally where the FBI, first responders and the media set up in the days following the crash.

Flight 93 was traveling from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco when hijackers took it over on Sept. 11, 2001. Passengers fought to get control of the plane and the hijackers responded by crashing the plane in a western Pennsylvania field, killing everyone aboard.

Construction began last year on a permanent memorial at the site. The first phase of the project is expected to be completed next year.
