No cell phone calls on 9/11??? Air-phone??? |
|
Just watching cable--CNN or MSNBC (?)--they had several members of the 9/11 commission on--one of them said that there were no cell phone calls from the plane(s) b/c it is/was not possible. Must have been calls from the air-phone.
Did anyone else catch this? :wtf:

2. I thought there was a question of whether cell phones could |
|
operate at certain altitudes, I had no idea that the official story had been so bastardized!

5. They used GTE airphones |
|
But it is possible to make cell phone calls from planes at low altitude. I've tested this myself and it works, albeit intermitently.

some of them were on NOW tonight.
Isn't it possible to even get small things reported so they are understandable?
:grr:

7. Bu bu bu our great Solicitor General, Ted Olson, said he got a call |
|
or three from his wife Barbara before her plane went into the Pentagon! And it wasn't the air phone, he said.
He wouldn't lie would he?

8. We discussed this at the airline today..planes were close to ground |
|
It might not work above 10,000 feet or in many areas, but if airplane is low enough or in the right parts of the world (I assume like the entire Northeast) then they will work.

10. I THOUGHT that the ongoing question was about the feasibility of |
|
cell phones working at high altitudes...I didn't realize that the official story had changed! No calls from cell phones...the calls were made from air phones per the commisssion.
