Taking land away for Flight 93 memorial

PITTSBURGH – The government will begin taking land from seven property owners so that the Flight 93 memorial can be built in time for the 10th anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks, the National Park Service said.

Don't really agree with this, some of this land has been in families for a long time, and because of a tragedy, and the extreme size they want this to be, they have to take the land? Make it smaller with the hunders of acres they already have. They need 500 more acres for this? To think in perspective, Disney Land in Florida is just under 100 acres, Tokyo Disney land is 115 acres. Just how big will this memorial be? The government has to take over 500 acres from the rightful owners. This is a bunch of crap!!
