Remains from Flight 93 buried

SHANKSVILLE, Pa. – Three caskets of unidentified remains from the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 were buried Monday in a private ceremony that filled the air with bagpipes, taps and a three-gun salute.

Some family members of the 40 passengers and crew who died on Sept. 11, 2001, faced difficult memories but also said they felt a sense of closure.

The remains had been maintained in a crypt for the last 10 years, awaiting the interment ceremony at the newly rechristened Flight 93 National Memorial.

Nearly 500 people attended the ceremony, including the family members and police, fire and emergency workers who had responded to the crash. The park was closed to the public to give them privacy.
