Attempted Eminent Domain

A mention about the donation made of the land. Tim Lambert donated land to the families and sold land to the Park Service. ^[1]. Where should it be placed? Earlier it was a note.

If it belongs anywhere, it would be in the article on the Flight 93 National Memorial, where there is a section concerning land acquisition. It has nothing to do with the terrorist incident. Acroterion (talk) 20:45, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ground injuries

According to the Global Terrorism Database, a total of 9 first responders were injured at the crash site of United Airlines Flight 93. They cite the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund as the source of this information. I feel this information should be added to the page info box or 'Crash' section.

More than a few times. I think they should be in this article, somewhere. Dtaht (talk) 22:37, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The section describing the last words in the cockpit are incorrect according to the transcript

please look at the official transcript. The final words are at 10:03:09.3 and belong to a hijacker. The only thing close to what is published here was said by a native English speaking male voice at 10:02:17.3, that said, "turn it up." Please check the official transcript. Thanks. 2601:2C1:9081:A730:1831:FB55:DBD7:E30C (talk) 22:28, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seating chart

The seating chart in the article misses the back half of the plane.

Would this image from this National Park Service page (public domain as created by a US Government employee) be more suitable?

The wings can be cropped off to show just the cabin.
