National Park Service Acquires Land For Flight 93 National Memorial In Shanksville - kdka.com:

The National Park Service has acquired a big chunk of land for the Flight 93 National Memorial outside of Shanksville.

Officials say it's 950 acres including the only road connecting US 30 to the crash site.

It will allow visitors to go to the memorial without driving on local roads and disturbing residents.

The park service hopes the memorial will be completed by the 10th anniversary of the 2001 terror attacks.

The crash of United Flight 93 on Sept. 11, 2001, killed 40 passengers and crew and four terrorist hijackers.
