Toxin-related deaths

I think it would be important to note in the Aftermath section that numerous individuals, particularly federal investigators, that participated in the response and subsequent investigation into Flight 93 have died from 9/11-related illnesses, particularly due to inhalation of carcinogens at the crash site.

These individuals are as follows:

- Special Agent Laurie Fournier, Federal Bureau of Investigation (December 26, 2009)

- Special Agent William Daniel Craig, Federal Bureau of Investigation (April 9, 2012)

Much better and specific attribution concerning O’Connor and Walker will be needed. Acroterion (talk) 04:14, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Added additional individual. Removing individuals lacking credible sources. Brandondsantos (talk) 19:45, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

slight error

Picture box in "Hijackers" section is missing a photo of Ahmed al-Haznawi. So it describes 4 people in the caption, but only has photos for 3 of them. Violarulez (talk) 18:06, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Currently fails criterion 1.b.

At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/I Missed Flight 93 I noted that there is no summary style paragraph of the various movie or TV dramatizations originating from this event. I would consider a comprehensive article to need at least some mention, in the body rather than hatnotes and "see also"s, of these derivative media. But I don't work in FA land much... am I wrong? Jclemens (talk) 06:36, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

A paragraph near the end of the head of the Aftermath section had one sentence listing three of the films and documentaries about Flight 93. I've gone ahead and added a second sentence about I Missed Flight 93 just after it to resolve the merge. This should definitely be considered for further expansion into its own section or sub-section, though. SlyAceZeta (talk) 04:57, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Attempted Eminent Domain

​ A mention about the donation made of the land. Tim Lambert donated land to the families and sold land to the Park Service. . Where should it be placed? Earlier it was a note.

If it belongs anywhere, it would be in the article on the Flight 93 National Memorial, where there is a section concerning land acquisition. It has nothing to do with the terrorist incident. Acroterion (talk) 20:45, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Ground injuries

According to the Global Terrorism Database, a total of 9 first responders were injured at the crash site of United Airlines Flight 93. They cite the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund as the source of this information. I feel this information should be added to the page info box or 'Crash' section.
