{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Dahl’s husband, Jason, was the captain of United Flight 93 on 9/11, when passengers fought back against terrorists and kept the plane from crashing into the U.S. Capitol or the White House. The plane crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pa.
After Jason's death, Dahl became a public face for all grieving 9/11 families, the paper reports.
