Flight 93 impasse heats up.
(From McClatchy-Tribune Regional News - The Tribune-Democrat)
Byline: Susan Evans
While President Bush reviews a request to seize the land needed for a Flight 93 memorial in Shanksville, the Somerset County property owner says that the federal government has not done its job.
Families of Flight 93, a group of relatives of those who died aboard the United Airlines plane when it crashed in Shanksville, sent a letter to the Bush administration asking that the Department of Interior seize the land needed for a memorial where the plane went down in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The White House said it was reviewing the letter.
"The president recognizes the contributions of those working to memorialize the heroes of Flight 93 with a fitting tribute at the spot where they gave their lives to ensure that others would live," Pete Seat, a spokesman for the White House, said Sunday.
But Svonavec Inc., owner of the last large chunk of land needed for the planned 2,200-acre memorial, said there's little for the president to review.
