Interpreting 9/11 and the Hijacking of United Flight 93
- Abstract:
The forum welcomes Mr. Gregory Zaborowski, an Education Specialist at the Flight 93 National Memorial in the United States. The forum's goal is to explore the National Park Service's interpretation initiatives and to discuss methods for interpreting historical tragedies, such as battles and wars, using science-based and holistic perspectives.
On September 11, 2001, teams of Al-Qaeda terrorist hijacked four US Airline flights and flew into targets within the United States killing 2,977 people. Of the planes hijacked United Flight 93 did not reach its designated target due to the courageous action taken by the passengers and crew members who valiantly fought back. The site where Flight 93 crashed was designated the National Memorial in 2002. Mr. Gregory Zaborowski describes vividly the evidence through phone calls, interviews, and technology such as the 2 black boxes found at the crash site as we seek to know the truth of what happened over the skies of Pennsylvania almost 23 years ago. - Hosted by: Hokkaido University, Center for Advanced Tourism Studies (CATS)
