I know the pilot who fired those two missiles to take down FACT: Saying he was reluctant to fuel debate by responding to unsubstantiated charges, Gibney a lieutenant colonel, not a major declined to comment.
David Somdahl, Gibney flew an F that morning—but nowhere near Shanksville. Jacoby confirms the day's events. Someone called to say an F was landing in Bozeman. From there we flew to Albany. Jacoby is outraged by the claim that Gibney shot down Flight Gibney was with me at that time. It disgusts me to see this because the public is being misled. More than anything else, it disgusts me because it brings up fears. It brings up hopes—it brings up all sorts of feelings, not only to the victims' families but to all the individuals throughout the country, and the world for that matter.

Why was Flight 93 delayed in leaving the airport at Newark?
The plane left the gate just one minute late, at am, and ordinarily would have taken off about 15 minutes after pulling away from the gate. However, take-off was delayed because of the airport's typically heavy morning traffic. When Flight 93 left the ground at , the flight was running more than 25 minutes late.
When and how did the authorities learn that Flight 93 had been hijacked? Who were the terrorists and where were they from? How long had the hijacking been planned? What target did the hijackers intend to hit with Flight 93?
When did the passengers and crew on Flight 93 decide to take action? Where did Flight 93 crash? How big was the crash site and what did the wreckage look like? The first responders described the crater as about 15 feet deep and about 30 feet across. It was irregularly shaped. The wreckage around and inside the crater consisted of largely unrecognizable pieces of twisted metal, pieces of the landing gear of the plane, a tire, the frames of some of the seats, bits of charred paper, and remnants of luggage and clothing.
Most of the pieces of wreckage were quite small, the size of a notebook or smaller. Many more pieces of wreckage, also quite small, were recovered during the investigation when the crater was excavated. Extensive searches through the wooded area south of the crash site, and even arborists in the tree tops found more debris from the crash.
A pond about feet southwest of the crater was partially drained to recover debris. Debris was collected from the yards of nearby homes, farmer's fields, and from around a nearby residential lake. The largest and heaviest pieces recovered were parts of the plane's two engines and a piece of fuselage with several window openings.
This fuselage piece measured about six feet by seven feet and was found near the woods south of the crater. Lightweight paper items were found as far away as New Baltimore, eight miles away. Did they find the plane's black boxes here? Both of the plane's recorders, the so-called "black boxes" which actually are orange , were found in the crash site crater.
The flight data recorder was recovered on Thursday, September 13 at pm at a depth of 15 feet. On September 14, at pm, the cockpit voice recorder was found at a depth of 25 feet. Both were turned over to the National Transportation Safety Board for analysis. The final phase of the memorial is on track to open on the 17th anniversary of the attacks. It will include a foot tower meter at the entrance with wind chimes for each of the 40 victims, called the Tower of Voices.
Each chime will have a different tone, or voice. Remains of all the victims were identified after the crash, either through dental records, DNA or fingerprints.
Three caskets of unidentified remains were buried at the crash site in Now that the memorial is near completion, the time was right to bury the remaining wreckage, Flight 93 National Memorial Superintendent Stephen Clark said. It had been stored in shipping containers in a warehouse.
