SOMERSET, Pa. (AP) — The remains of the four terrorists aboard a hijacked airliner that crashed into a Pennsylvania field have been turned over to the FBI, authorities said Monday.
United Airlines Flight 93 was one of four planes hijacked Sept. 11. The others struck the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Before Flight 93 crashed, several passengers made phone calls indicating they were going to fight the terrorists.
Remains of the 40 passengers and flight crew aboard the plane were identified last month through fingerprints, dental records and DNA, said Somerset County Coroner Wallace Miller. Remains not matching DNA from the 40 victims were presumed to be the hijackers.
