Wrapping Up the Beamer Call

I think the idea that Lisa Beamer simply made up* a lot of the details about Beamer's call can explain many of the contradictions of the accounts of Beamer's call and the contradictions in Beamer's call with the other flight 93 calls.

So where does this leave us?

We can probably discard the more absurd parts of the Beamer story-- such that there was a hijacker with a bomb standing guard between first and coach class. This is just ridiculous on its face.

We can probably also discard the idea that 27 passengers were put in first class and that the rest of the passengers and flight attendants were sitting on the floor in the back since it is absurd as well.

We can also discard the idea that Beamer saw the pilot and co-pilot lying on the floor in first class, since it doesn't make sense that he would have seen them from the back-- plus no other call mentioned this.

So where does THIS leave us?

Basically, this leaves us with a guy calling from what was apparently a hijacked plane and very little else that is noteworthy. The main thing is that this guy's wife was very aggressive about pushing the story that he was a hero, even though the operator Lisa Jefferson had no real information that he joined the rebellion, this was mosty inferred.

The bottom line is that even if there important details about the hijacking in Beamer's call, the accounts are so muddled it is impossible to sort it out without seeing the transcript of the call or hearing the recording. And basically we will never get our hands on those, barring some miracle (and assuming these even exist and are not another lie).

The interesting question is if Lisa Beamer really sought out this attention on her own, or if she was pushed into this assignment somehow by some shadowy agent of the government.


*I don't think confusion or a poor memory can explain this, since Lisa Beamer was actively pushing the story. It's not like she was pressed to give details.
