Beamer’s watch, which has the number 11 frozen on the date indicator, is on display in the 9/11 Memorial Museum. Killed were 40 crew members and passengers, including Todd Beamer, whose last reported words were “let’s roll” as he and other passengers tried to overpower the hijackers. The passengers of hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 are revered as heroes for fighting back against the terrorists, who crashed the plane into a field. “But they are also empathetic and compassionate when others are suffering.” “Children want to know that their world is safe – that there are helpers to protect them and their families,” Barbara Black, memorial curator and exhibit creator, said in an AP report. The temporary exhibition “Through Their Eyes” displays these tributes and more that were left behind near or on a fence at a temporary memorial soon after the 2001 attacks. Legos locking to form a plane, small toy firetrucks, stuffed animals and other tributes by children are on display at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pa., one of the three attack sites on Sept.
