Trash bag covers Flight 93 donation box

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SHANKSVILLE, Pa. — The National Park Service has covered a cash donation box at the site where Flight 93 crashed that had angered victims’ families.

Mike Svonavec, who owns property on land where a memorial is planned, had installed the donation box to cover security costs. Security has been handled by a private company at a monthly cost of about $10,000 since federal funding ran out in February, and Svonavec said the site has also incurred other costs.

A black plastic trash bag was placed over the donation box on Wednesday.

“The bottom line is we feel the National Park Service can’t effectively carry out our mission without exercising the exclusive use and control of the site as provided for in our agreement with the property owners,” Flight 93 Memorial Superintendent Joanne Hanley said.

“I don’t understand what their basis is,” Svonavec said of the decision to cover the box. “I’ve cooperated with everyone. Obviously, they are exercising the power the National Park Service feels it has.”

Victims’ families did not like the box, calling it an insult to the 40 passengers and crew members who died when the hijacked United Airlines flight crashed on Sept. 11, 2001.

What was this guy thinking? Doesn’t he know that only Rudy Giuliani is allowed to make money off of September 11th?
