B.) Yes, I did read that. I was merely pointing out that mobile phones don't work at that altitude

I don't buy that.
I'm not denying someone people don't jokingly speak to their Mother or Father in that manner, but you sure as hell wouldn't be doing it if you thought your life was in danger.edit on 1/3/12 by Death_Kron because: (no reason given)

Tech for cell phones operating at that height did not exist back then. I am a cell phone tech. The calls were staged.

In a nut-shell, that says it all there folks!
Never, Ever, Ever, Ever, Ever have I addressed myself in such a fashion, in all the years I have
been telephoning my own mother! (Hi Mam!)
(And I dare say neither have you, nor anyone else in the whole damn world!)

I am wondering, can you show me even one movie script where the phone is answered in such a fashion? If not, it proves this was not scripted. Only in reality people say such odd things when they are nervous.

My uncle lives in Newburgh, NY, and lives very close to Stewart ANGB. He pretty much knows the ins and outs of the flightpaths coming in and out of the airport. On 9/11 he saw two airliners flying in what his words was "an extremely low altitude" considering they weren't landing at Stewart. He saw BOTH jets screaming down the Hudson River.
Two planes hit the WTC building. A cruise missile hit the Pentagon, and IMHO flight 93 was intended to crash somewhere in the middle of Pennsylvania. Nothing like a harrowing story of a group of civilians fighting the big bad terrorists for the good of the country.
And IF 93 had an intended target, it was probably either a) building #7 or b) Indian Point Energy Center.
