As it happens, although the Flight 93 National Memorial is still in the 
fundraising stage and won't break ground for some time, there is already 
a memorial next to the Flight 93 crash site. Shanksville, population 
245, was transformed on September 11. The tiny town in rural Somerset 
County became famous when the 40 passengers and crew on Flight 93 fought 
back against the 4 terrorist hijackers. The plane crashed into an empty 
field situated between a handful of modest residences and an old 
strip-mining operation. Within hours, Shanksville was overrun by police, 
emergency responders, the FBI, the National Transportation Safety Board, 
and other officials and members of the media. The townspeople and nearby 
residents immediately went into motion providing for these hundreds of 
workers, bringing them food and welcoming them into their homes for the 
duration of the investigation and clean-up, which took several weeks.
