The Flight 93 Phone Calls-- Part VI, Sandy Bradshaw
Sandy Bradshaw was a flight attendant on the flight, she called her husband. We don't know what time this is.
She says: "My flight's been hijacked by three guys with knives".
She doesn't know where they are but are flying over a river, apparently southeast.
She says most of the passengers are in the rear of the plane and a few still in first class.
She thought she saw one hijacker.
She boils water in the galley to throw at the hijackers as part of the passenger insurgency.
She ends the call by saying "Phil, everyone's running to first class. I've got to go. Bye."
There's nothing incredibly interesting here, except that at the end she seems rather matter of fact about saying goodbye to her husband.
The boiling water trick is a good detail, but if the hijackers are in the cockpit and the passengers have to break down the door to get to them, then the water probably wouldn't be much use in that situaiton. Too many people in too tight a space. Plus, she would have to carry the boiling water all the way up to the front of the plane-- it seem kind of impractical.
It would be nice if she told us where the hijackers were. Was one guarding them, or were they all in the cockpit?

Didn't another caller (Beamer?) say just the opposite -- that most of the passengers were up in first class and only a few were in the back?
Did the hijackers shuffle everyone back and forth?
Yep-- you're right!
This is one reason why I am going through these calls-- to document how many different contradictions there are.
