A coal company said it will pick up the tab to protect the Flight 93 memorial site in Somerset County.

Sheriff's deputies have patrolled the Shanksville site since the hijacked United Airlines plane crashed there on 9/11. That was, until federal funding ran out last month.

Now the landowner says they've hired a private security guard to patrol the area temporarily.

The $58,000,000 memorial will honor the passengers and crew who died there.
