New debris site in Pennsylvania
Investigators searching the wreckage of United Flight 93 in western Pennsylvania on Thursday found the plane’s flight data recorder, said FBI spokesman Bill Crowley. The recorder was being sent to the National Transportation Safety Board in Washington for analysis.
"We are hoping that it will have some information that is pertinent to what occurred in the plane prior to its crashing," Crowley said.
The NTSB said United Airlines Flight 93 was heading eastward when it crashed in Somerset County.
FBI officials leading the investigation said it could take weeks to recover everything from the crash site. Crowley said archaeologists have been brought in to search the impact crater, which has been covered by a layer of dust.
Authorities also said another debris site had been cordoned off six to eight miles away from the original crash debris site. But Crowley said the debris was "very light material such as paper and thin nylon — things that in the air with the wind would easily blow."
