Fragment from 9/11 plane crash on display in Decatur

DECATUR, Ill. (AP) - A piece of wreckage from one of the planes hijacked on 9/11 is on display in Decatur at the Macon County courts building.

The (Decatur) Herald and Review reports (http://bit.ly/2fJY90i ) that the piece is in a memorial on the wall behind the building's security area. It's in its own case with a U.S. flag backdrop. The small fragment of the plane came to Decatur via Danny Jones, who was a firefighter who responded to the Flight 93 crash site in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Jones took home several small fragments with permission from authorities. In October 2015 John Axe of Decatur stopped at Jones' fire station to pick up a beam from the World Trade Center for a Decatur memorial. Jones offered one of the fragments to go with the beam.
