Wife of Pilot Jason M Dahl
of United Flight 93
That crashed on 9-11-2001
in Shankville Pa.
UPDATE .. SEPT 11, 2021
Sandy Dahl, the widow of United Flight 93
captain Jason Dahl, died of heart failure brought on
by an accidental drug and alcohol overdose, according
to an autopsy released Friday.
Dahl passed away unexpectedly in her sleep in May.
She was staying at a friend's home in Lakewood at
the time.
Jason Dahl was the Captain of Flight 93, which
crashed into a Pennsylvania farm field on Sept. 11, 2001,
as terrorists tried to hijack the plane and passengers
and crew members fought back.
After her husband's death, Sandy Dahl became a
powerful advocate for preserving her husband's memory
and honoring the heroism of those aboard Flight 93.
** She gave frequent speeches and founded a scholarship
fund in Jason's honor to provide money for aspiring pilots.
The tragedy, though, continued to weigh on Dahl. In an
interview with The Denver Post, Dahl said she sometimes
awoke from nightmares or found herself grinding her
teeth for no reason. She said counselors had told her
she had post-traumatic stress disorder.
Her dedication to completing the Flight 93 National
Memorial as a way to honor her husband's heroic actions
on 9/11, and those of his fellow crew members and
passengers, is a significant part of her legacy.
