The top story this morning is the rights to the coal underneath a 9/11 crash site being disputed. As reporter Saranac Hale Spencer writes, the nearly 300 acres in rural Pennsylvania where Flight 93 crashed had been taken by eminent domain for a memorial park in 2009 and a federal judge has sided with the U.S. government, holding that Svonavec Inc. did not have a right to mine the coal spread across the majority of the land.
