Somerset County Township Recalls Fateful Day of Flight 93

The story behind the photo...

Val McClatchey of Stoystown, Somerset County, just happened to be in the right place at the right time and snapped the photo at the top of this page, which she has titled “End of Serenity.” The photo, which has appeared in Newsweek and other publications, shows the ominous cloud of smoke that arose from the crash of United Airlines Flight 93, in which 38 people perished on September 11. McClatchey is selling the photos for $20 each, with the proceeds going to the Todd M. Beamer Foundation, which benefits the children of the crash victims. Beamer is among the passengers who attempted to overcome the plane’s hijackers. To order the photo, send a check or money order, made payable to the Todd M. Beamer Foundation, in care of Val McClatchey, 107 Osage Path, Stoystown, PA 15563.
