The Boeing 757 was headed from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco when it made an abrupt turn near Cleveland and veered back east across Pennsylvania before crashing in Shanksville, killing all 44 aboard. Flight 93 was the fourth plane to crash in a coordinated terrorist attack that included New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and the only one that didn't take lives on the ground.

They span the muddy waters from which Winnipeg derives its name. They connect neighbourhood to neighbourhood. They’re a fundamental feature of our city.
Winnipeg has a reputation as a “River City,” but many don’t know the stories behind the bridges they use every day.
While a bridge may seem to be a boring piece of basic infrastructure, many of Winnipeg’s have fascinating histories that go back more than 100 years.

OTTAWA - In late May, a parole officer issued an arrest warrant for an offender with a violent criminal past who had recently been released from prison in Saskatchewan and who had since disappeared.
More than 100 days later, Myles Sanderson remained unlawfully at large when he was named as a suspect in a stabbing rampage that left 11 people dead — including his brother, Damien Sanderson, who was also named as a suspect — and 18 others injured in James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon, Sask.
After a four-day manhunt, Sanderson was arrested on a rural stretch of highway and died in custody after RCMP said he went into "medical distress."
The tragedy has prompted scrutiny over how Sanderson managed to remain free in the months leading up to the attacks, and how authorities should handle violent offenders who violate the rules of their release.
Manitoba’s Progressive Conservative party has a challenge in the new year: how to change its leadership election process without alienating grassroots members, while also avoiding the kind of debacle it experienced in the fall.
After coming within a whisker of electing a leader who ran on an anti-vaccine mandate platform before the Oct. 30 vote, the party will almost certainly revise its voter eligibility rules in 2022.
Former Conservative MP Shelly Glover, who ran for the leadership to replace outgoing party boss Brian Pallister, signed up thousands of new members during the race. She did so largely by appealing to opponents of vaccine mandates and other measures taken by the province to fight COVID-19.
Under the current rules, candidates were allowed to sign up new members until a month before voting day. Last-minute signups allow candidates to attract new blood to the party. However, under the Tories’ one member, one vote system, it also leaves the party open to a hostile takeover.
Patrik Laine has "got nothing bad to say about Winnipeg," which doesn't exactly jump off the page as a new slogan to slap on our licence plates, erect some billboards and build a tourism campaign around, does it?
I suppose it's better than "We were born here, what's your excuse?" which The Simpsons famously — at least around here — asked in an episode years ago that involved Homer coming to our backyard to obtain cheap prescription drugs for residents of Springfield.
But those hoping for another love letter from Laine — like that sugary sweet "Winnipeg is good" puff piece ghostwritten on his behalf in the Players' Tribune in early 2018 — likely felt scorned as he spoke last week from Finland with Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.
Laine's rather lukewarm comments about his hockey home for the past three seasons have seemingly poured gasoline all over the fire that was already burning when it comes to the 21 year old, who remains without a contract as the clock ticks louder towards the start of training camp next month.
