The Flight 93 Phone Calls-- Part V, Marion Britton

Marion Britton, a single, older census worker, called her friend. She said the plane was hijacked, two people were killed, "they slit their throats". The friend could hear a lot of noise on the other end.

"The plane was making a turn, Marion said.

"'We're going down' she said, 'We're going to crash'."

This one is short and we can't get too much info, but there are a couple of interesting points.

First, about two people being killed by having their throats slit.

This is odd, as no one else on the flight mentions two people getting killed like this. Only Tom Burnett mentions something similar and it is one person getting knifed.

Second, Marion talks about the plane going down but says NOTHING about the passengers who are supposed to be trying to take the plane over.

Possibly, this call was early on, and the plane jerked down and Miss Britton thought the worst. But this was the last we hear of her-- why didn't she call back if it was early on? And if it was late, why didn't she talk about the passenger insurgency?
