No indication of arson or foul play has been found in the fire that broke out last week at the Flight 93 National Memorial headquarters in Pennsylvania, destroying artifacts that had been saved after the Sept. 11, 2001, reports The Los Angeles Times.
“Definitive findings, including the cause of the fire, are not expected for a matter of weeks,” but the on-site investigation is complete, National Park Service spokesman Mike Litterst said in an email, and park officials have begun salvaging materials.
Litterst said that the fire had destroyed three administration buildings on the Shanksville (PA) site, including a structure housing several items set to be stored in a nearby museum next year.
The American flag that flew over the U.S. Capitol on Sept. 11, 2001, was destroyed in the fire, the park service said, as were a handful of personal items belonging to Flight 93 passengers and crew and roughly 100 tribute items left by visitors.
The fire was about two miles from the actual memorial, which lines the edge of the field where Flight 93 crashed after crew members and passengers fought back against Al Qaeda hijackers in midair.
