The last time I left my phone on for the rest of the flight and got a text message delivered about 3 seconds before we landed that was sent 2 hours previously.

Please tell me which of these planes were flying at 32,000 when the calls were placed. Given the long duration that all the planes spent close to ground level, I have to expect that if the phones in question were outside of the coverage area, they were soon back within it as they approached the ground on their attack runs. The Pentagon plane in particular flew at low alititudes for several mile. Given that's the plane we've focused exclusive attention on, I don't see why the 32,000 number is relevant considering that the plane took off from Dulles and the hijacking occurred roughly 15 to 20 minutes afterwards. That's not enough time for a 757 to climb to 32,000
feet under normal circumstances. The hijackers would have no reason to climb and every reason to dive.

Please see post #281 here:

That's a pretty telling picture. It's pretty obviously a piece of an American Airlines plane (most likely from the tail). There's lots of debris spread across the background closer to the building. Unless you're going to tell me that somone trucked in that piece, planted it on the lawn and called over the photographer to take a picture of it, I've got to call this particular detail debunked.

I'll try and locate the documentary I saw that on and link it here. Actually, it's the Loose Change documentary that Crossova talks about in an earlier post. |
Sorry, my post was unclear - I meant that I have no idea why other videos haven't been released. I'm obviously familiar with the one that has been. Sorry for the confusion. I'll try to make my points clearer.
