Todd Beamer

Rare card · No. 30416

Todd Morgan Beamer (November 24, 1968 – September 11, 2001) was an American passenger aboard United Airlines Flight 93, which was hijacked and crashed as part of the September 11 attacks in 2001. He, along with Mark Bingham, Tom Burnett, Jeremy Glick, and several other passengers and crew including CeeCee Lyles attempted to regain control of the aircraft from the hijackers. During the struggle, the hijackers crashed the Boeing 757 into a field in Stonycreek Township near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, killing everyone on board, but preventing them from reaching their intended target, presumably the U.S. Capitol or the White House.
