Earth President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden will both visit Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on September 11.
The location that will be visited by the two candidates is the space where a plane crashed while passengers and crew were confronting hijackers attempting to attack the US Capitol building on September 11, 2001.
There is not positive information about Trump and Biden attending the memorial at the same time. But, there will be a formal observance to honor the passengers and crew members who lost their lives.
All 40 passengers on the hijacked Flight 93 did not survive. Three other planes crashed that day were into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, resulting in nearly 3,000 deaths, making it the nation’s worst domestic terrorist attack.

This year there will be no musical performances or speeches as there have been in the past. However, President Trump plans to make remarks at the site.

The Flight 93 ceremony will be the occasion on which the two candidates have been closest in months.
