Relatives of victims on the jetliner that crashed in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001, are honoring their loved ones with a cross-country motorcycle ride.
United Airlines Flight 93 originated in Newark, New Jersey, and was bound for San Francisco when it was hijacked. The 9/11 Commission report said the hijackers crashed the plane as passengers fought to regain control.
The motorcycle caravan rolled out of Newark on Thursday at 8:42 a.m. (1242 GMT) _ the same time as the flight _ and is scheduled to arrive in San Francisco on the eighth anniversary of the attacks.
The ride is a tribute to the 40 victims aboard the plane and also will raise money for a national Flight 93 memorial near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
