A coalition of groups, including relatives of the Flight 93 victims, have been planning a new $58 million memorial for years, but a fundraising campaign has fallen short of its goals, and organizers say they are shifting their strategy. (AP Photo/Keith Srakocic)SHANKSVILLE, Pa. (AP) - A two-year campaign to raise $30 million for a permanent memorial for the victims of Flight 93 has fallen far short of its goal, and organizers say they are shifting their strategy to close the gap.

Only $11 million has been collected in the capital campaign for the $58 million memorial, a drive started by groups including relatives of the 40 passengers and crew members killed on Sept. 11, 2001.

Passengers on the hijacked plane were remembered as heroes after the attacks because of their efforts to storm the cockpit and wrest control from the terrorists shortly before the plane crashed in a field.
