Book Signing with Tom McMillan

Please join us at the Penguin Bookshop on Tuesday, September 9 from 6:00-7:00pm as we welcome local author Tom McMillan to talk about his book FLIGHT 93: THE STORY, THE AFTERMATH, AND THE LEGACY OF AMERICAN COURAGE ON 9/11.

A portion of the proceeds from this event will benefit Friends of Flight 93 National Memorial: http://www.nps.gov/flni/supportyourpark/joinourfriends.htm

The passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 on September 11th, 2001 have earned their rightful place among the pantheon of American heroes. Amazingly, 13 years after that day, the definitive account of this seminal event in the nation’s history has yet to be written. FLIGHT 93 provides a riveting narrative based on interviews, oral histories, transcripts, recordings, personal tours of the crash site, and voluminous trial evidence made public only in recent years. There also is plenty of chilling new detail for readers who think they know the story of the flight. Utilizing research tools that were not available in the years immediately after the crash, the book offers the most complete account of what actually took place aboard United 93 – from its delayed takeoff at Newark International Airport to the moment it plunged into an open field in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania.

Tom McMillan studied journalism at Point Park University. He has served as the Vice President of Communications for the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey team.
