2996: Remembering Mark K. Bingham of Flight 93
Two years ago, I wrote a post, remembering Lynne Irene Morris. She was one of the many victims that died inside the Twin Towers. Today marks the 7th anniversary of this awful event.
For this anniversary, I am paying a tribute to Mark K. Bingham, a passenger on board Flight 93. Mark was flying home to visit his family in the Bay Area. As you know, the plane crashed in rural Pennsylvania, killing everyone on board. It is widely believed that Mark was one of the passengers who attempted to overtake the hijackers before they could fly the plane into another building. The video accompanying this post is a slide-show of Mark’s adult life.

That is a lovely tribute, Deborah. May God bless and keep all those who lost loved ones on that awful day.

Thank you, Marti.
Whoever put that video together did a great job. I loved that song they used.

Thank you for your tribute!
I posted one too.

You posted several.
I was hoping to see more participants, but I guess everyone is too caught up in the election.

Nice tribute. I listed to a lot of radio today, and many stations were playing rebroadcasts of that day.

Nice to see you again, Fred.
I’m surprised my radio stations didn’t at least mention the significance of this day. Maybe they did, and I missed it.

Everything I have read about Mark described him as a handsome, athletic, caring, thoughtful person. He was no doubt a hero on United Flight 93– based on accounts from that horrid day.
Thank you for posting this video– I had not seen it before— Funny what one thinks… The pictures of him down in New Orleans in the French Quarter– in front of the Cathedral… on Bourbon Street…
Thank you for your tribute.
