A gavel from the House of Representatives, the recovered boarding pass of the oldest passenger to board Flight 93, poignant final messages for loved ones, revealing aerial footage of the crash site and investigation, the fragment of a seat belt, the Congressional Gold Medal.

The artifacts of United Flight 93, which crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001, are preserved at the Flight 93 National Memorial and the Smithsonian. These items are deeply emotional and tell the story of the passengers' heroic resistance. Significant artifacts include personal belongings recovered from the debris field, such as jewelry, credit cards, and scorched driver's licenses. The "black box" flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder are the most technically significant artifacts, providing the audio record of the struggle. Other items include pieces of the aircraft fuselage, parts of the engines, and the "investigative models" used by the FBI. The memorial also houses the hundreds of "tribute items" left by visitors at the crash site fence over the years. One of the most poignant "digital artifacts" is the collection of phone messages left by passengers and crew on the "Airfones" as they realized the situation. In 2026, these artifacts are curated with extreme care, focusing on the humanity of the 40 passengers and crew who thwarted the hijackers' plans to strike the U.S. Capitol, serving as a permanent testament to their collective bravery.
