Cell Phone Calls on 9/11
What I think is probably the biggest single hole in the official 9/11 story was the use of cell phones by passengers in the hijacked planes.
These calls were absolutely essential in establishing the key story line of the official 9/11 legend: commercial planes were hijacked by gangs of fanatical muslims. And in the case of Flight 93, the calls were used to demonstrate the heroics of passengers fighting back against the hijackers (which is preferable to the more likely conclusion that Flight 93 was shot down).
There is only one problem with this part of the 9/11 story: cell phones simply do not work at high altitudes and in planes going extremely fast (See the linked article for details). This is an incontrovertible fact. I even tested this myself the last time I flew on a plane. I could not get a cell phone signal in the middle of a flight. We were flying over Louisville, Kentucky at the time, and my cell phone service is quite good, with service everywhere I have travelled.
The official 9/11 story has been very clear that the calls from the passengers on the hijacked planes were cell phone calls -- not calls from those on-board phones mounted on the backs of seats (which were de-activated on most flights before 9/11 anyway).
Moreover-- it is not just one or two calls that luckily got through. LOTS of people supposedly made calls from the hijacked planes.
If passengers could not make cell phone calls on the hijacked flights, where the heck did these calls come from?
There can really only be one conclusion, and an extremely chilling conclusion at that: the cell phone calls were faked. This means that someone knew on the morning of 9/11 that these calls needed to be made from supposed hijacked planes. This implies clear foreknowledge of the plot.
As mind-boggling as these conclusions are, I can really see no way around them.
Important questions:
Who made these calls? They must have been in on the plot, right? Were they the passengers that were killed, or someone else imitating them?
How can we pursue this angle?
UPDATE: On August 26th 2004, I found this article which gives an explanation for why the 9/11 airplne cell phone calls worked. However, I don't completely buy it, because this article says that the calls went through because the planes were close to the ground. Several of the calls were made in mid-flight, when the planes were quite high in the air. I could imagine that a few lucky calls got through in the few minutes at low altitudes before the planes crashed, but other calls are more difficult to believe. I wonder if cell phone companies keep track of the cell towers where the call signal is received from. Could they figure out where the planes were and where calls came from in this way? This would be extremely interesting and useful.
