And here's where the luck comes in. At some point, we attracted the attention of a person who was in position to know a little more about the
maintenance of American Airlines planes. He was mostly annoyed at the "Truthers" but when it came to this issue he really got ticked, so he did some
digging.
He backtracked from ECO F0878 and came across ECO F0871 and F0874. F0874 tells the mechanics to put the airphone switch to the off position and pull
the associated circuit breakers. F0871 requires installation of a placard on all the Airfones in the plane informing the passengers that the phones
would no longer work. Both are dated March 2002.

As can see someone at AMERICAN who knows what was going on proved
proof that Airphones were in operation on Sept 11
On United 93 of the 37 calls made, 35 were from Airphones including
Todd Beamers call to the operator.
