During our 5 day stay in Somerset our sightseeing included 2 recent historical occasions. First, the Que Creek rescue in 2002 where 9 miners were successfully rescued after 3 1/2 days trapped in a coal mine approx. 240 ft below the surface. The rescue was made on the property of the man in the second picture. He is standing beside the 'capsule' used in the rescue.
From Que Creek we drove to see the crash site of Flight 93, the hijacked plane of the 911 disaster. A very interesting presentation was given, and the flag in the field is the actual site location where a memorable is to be erected in the very near future.
