The "Mayday" Call from Flight 93

According to the 9/11 Commission Report and the Official 9/11 Story(TM), the closest any of the four 9/11 flights came to warning air traffic control (ATC) of a hijacking was flight 93 who sent out a "mayday" distress call followed by sounds of struggle and the words "get out of here" repeated, more sounds of struggle, then nothing more from the pilots until the hijackers apparently made a call over the intercom to the passengers about staying in their seats.

All this happened supposedly right after ATC warned the pilots of flight 93 of the possibility of cockpit intrusion.

It is curious that even though the pilots were WARNED of cockpit intrusion, the cockpit intrusion still happened AND that they weren't more prepared to fight off the hijackers.

What is most odd is the sequence here.

"Mayday" is a distress call, to be used only in a dire emergency. So why exactly is the pilot calling "mayday" in this sequence?

One possibility is that a hijacker has entered the cockpit and is grappling with one of the pilots. We can assume it is only one hijacker because of the "get out of here" that comes later. But does this warrant a "mayday"? Why doesn't the pilot say "someone has entered the cockpit and is fighting with the pilot"? Why such a general "mayday" call? Has something else happened?

Another possibility is that the pilot yelling "mayday" has been wounded by a hijacker as is making a last desperate call on the radio. But then why does he say "hey, get out of here, get out of here" 30 seconds later?

Another possibility is that this sequence of events is all an act being put on for the benefit of ATC, and the pilots got confused and made up some lines that in retrospect don't make a lot of sense.

In light of my general theory on the 9/11 attacks, I have to think the last possibility is most likely.

Again, what strikes me as incredible is that none of the four flights signaled a hijacking on their transponder (this is an easy manipulation) NOR did the three other flights call anything like "mayday". This is just too hard to believe that the hijackers could take six pilots on three planes without one "mayday" call.

The one "mayday" that occurred was AFTER the pilots were warned of hijackers.

Thus, on 9/11, in every hijack situation, the pilots responded extremely poorly -- more poorly than one would ever expect-- considering the hijackers were armed with only knives!
