The Flight 93 Phone Calls-- Part VII, Cee Cee Lyles

CeeCee Lyles was a flight attendant on flight 93. She called her husband twice from the plane.

First she left a message saying three guys hijacked the plane. She says she heard from other passengers that planes hit the WTC.

Second time she talked to her husband directly. At 9:58am, she said "feels like the plane is going down". The husband heard people crying in the background.

Then, CeeCee says: "I think they're going to do it. They're forcing their way into the cockpit."

Husband "could hear screaming in the background. CeeCee screamed and the husband heard a whooshing sound, a sound like wind." "People were screaming and the call broke off."

(Quotes from Longman)

There are a couple of interesting things here.

First, Mrs Lyles seems fairly sure the passengers will get into the cockpit. But the official story is the didn't get in.

Second, the end of the call sounds quite like the plane was damaged, "holed" perhaps, before the call ended. Interesting how people screamed AFTER the whooshing noise.
