Mike Pence tears up recalling heroes of Flight 93

Vice President Mike Pence was moved to tears during a 9/11 memorial ceremony Monday to honor the 40 passengers and crew members who died aboard Flight 93, a plane that was believed to have been headed for the U.S. Capitol after hijackers took control.

“It was the longest 12 minutes of my life, then it turned to 13 minutes, then 14. And then we were informed that the plane had gone down in a field in Pennsylvania,” Pence said Monday at the site of the crash in Shanksville, Pa., where a memorial now stands.
