According to investigators, the train crew sounded the horn and tried to brake in a failed attempt to avoid hitting the man. Investigators are still trying to determine why Davidson was on the tracks.

The remembrance comes as the United States contends with the destruction caused by hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Vice President Mike Pence took part in the ceremony in Shanksville PA to remember the the 33 passengers and seven crew members that were killed when flight 93 slammed into a field after being high jacked and then taken back over control by the passengers who refused to let the terrorists carry out their plan. It has never been known where Flight 93 was headed.   Flight 93 was the fourth plane that was high jacked on that fateful day. The first two hitting the World Trade Center Towers and the third hitting the Pentagon in Washington D.C.
