Fire at flight 93 memorial site

Posted by 3Anthony on October 4, 2014 at 2:19pm

Last Friday a fire erupted at the memorial site were flight 93 crashed in Shanksville Pennsylvania during the 9/11 terrorist attack. the cause of the fire is unknown. although it is currently under investigation. the extent of the damage is also unknown they do not know how much damage was done to the memorial and what artifacts where lost to the fire. In the memorial was the flag that was flown over the US capital during the 9/11 attacks. the statues of that flag us unknown at the moment. the area in witch the fire burned also stored many other "artifacts" from the flight including notes from the passengers. it is said that about 10% of the memorials artifacts were kept in the build in witch the fire proceed. but most of the item are kept in fire proof containers or safes so the loss is most likely minimal.

How do you think the fires started and was it intentional?

Do you think this was an act of terrorism?

    Your summary needs to be written better. Numerous capitalization errors among other issues. Be sure to proofread.

    I think that it was an accident and that whoever or whatever did was an accident and didnt do it on purpose. I do not think it was an act of terrorism.

    I don't think so I think it was an accident and not an act of terrorism, I hope so anyway

    It is hard to tell if it was intentional or not. If it was an act of terrorism, then I think they would have done it at the twin towers or pentagon memorial.

    I dont think that the fire was started intentionally, maybe it was an electrical shortage or a smoking accident. If it were an act of terrorism the terrorist organization wouldve made themselves known.

    I think it very well possibly could have been an act of terrorism being we are stuck in the whole ordeal with ISIS and them telling the "lone wolves"  to act up in our country.

    Personally i think it could have been an act of terrorism by a member or "lone wolf" of ISIS

      that makes scense but is it possible that Al-qeada is responsable

  • 2Maggie October 7, 2014 at 10:17am

    I think that it was intentional because ISIS sent out a message to the "lone wolves" to do terrorist acts in their country, so this could have been terrorism.

    I don't know if it was intentional or not. It could be an act of terrorism.
