Flight 93 National Memorial Visitor Center Rendering

A new visitor's center opens today at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania.

Today, September 10, the Flight 93 National Memorial will open a new visitor’s center.

“The construction of the visitor center complex accentuates the national memorial's transformation over the years,” said Keith Newlin, deputy superintendent of Western Pennsylvania Parks. “Documenting these events allows our future visitors to witness this part of the memorial's history long after its completion. EarthCam's time-lapse composite of these events captures the thought and effort that has gone into creating a timeless place of reverence to honor the passengers and crew of Flight 93.”

EarthCam partnered with the National Park Service, National Park Foundation and Friends of Flight 93 to document the site from August 2010 to August 2015. Watch over 1,800 days of construction with this time-lapse.

And here's a montage of the passengers and crew on Flight 93:
