A journalist who once helped care for land near the Flight 93 crash site in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, returns to the memorial and recounts September 11, 2001, when the hijacked flight went down in a field that had been part of his family's property for decades.
The piece walks through the memorial's design, the 40 passengers and crew who died confronting the hijackers, and the writer's own memory of covering the day as a radio journalist before learning his family's land was the crash site.
The full dispatch is available from the source below.
