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)
Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 3 September 2023
![]() | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
There is a repeating sentence in the introduction.
I am requesting a change from:
"The hijackers planned to crash the plane into a federal government building in the national capital of Washington, D.C. The hijackers planned to crash the plane into a federal government building in Washington, D.C., the U.S. capital."
To:
"The hijackers planned to crash the plane into a federal government building in the city of Washington, D.C., the U.S. capital."
Or:
"The hijackers planned to crash the plane into a federal government building in the national capital of Washington, D.C." Omerhijazi404 (talk) 23:00, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
Edit request: A small typo (I think) on 25 September 2023
I believe the following sentence in the Hijacking > Cockpit transmissions and recordings section makes more sense with the word "time" removed: "Officials believe that at around 09:28, the hijackers killed Mark Rothenberg,[47] assaulted the cockpit, and moved the remaining passengers and crew to the rear of the plane time to minimize any chance that either the crew or the passengers would interfere with the attack".

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?

- 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. [1]. Where should it be placed? Earlier it was a note.
