PITTSBURGH (AP) - The National Park Service says it will begin taking land for the Flight 93 memorial in western Pennsylvania from property owners because negotiations have proven unsuccessful.

The service says it will condemn about 500 acres still needed for the memorial to be built in time for the 10th anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks.

The park service planned to publicly release further details later Thursday.

Flight 93 was traveling from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco when it was diverted by hijackers with the likely goal of crashing it into the White House or Capitol. The official 9/11 Commission report said the hijackers crashed the plane into a Pennsylvania field as passengers tried to wrest control of the cockpit.

500 acres! WTF is the Park Service planning to do build Murtha another high profit airport? 500 acres is more than enough to build an airport that lane could have landed at, and by the time the FED is finished the memorial will probably cost more than a damn airport.

How many farmers are they screwing into poverty with this deal? By the time the Feds get this thing built the majority of the population will have forgotten 9/11 and that it involved more than the WTC towers.

Yes, all of that, plus the fact that while 9/11 was a major event, building monuments in the coutryside doesn't count as a legitimate use for ED in my book.

I don't think monuments were in the original intent of the 5th Amendment either.
