I thought that, according to the 9-11 Commission's report, United 93 was at 30,000+ feet when those calls were made.Cap’n AMatrixca said:According to the FAA and the 9-11 Commission, she, and the others, called from planes onlow level final approaches, not Stukkas coming in from 35,000 feet. People SAW those planes! Some even filmed them. Even Jihadists know to stay low to prevent intercept since Top Gun is available in every possible language...
Cap’n AMatrixca said:If you thought your plane was plunging to your death, would it be unreasonable in this cell-phone world to not try and at least have one last conversation with the ones you loved; stress overcomes reason, no?

Well, your math makes no sense.Cap’n AMatrixca said:I just did the math as per Lovelynice's blog C&P.
It comes to 5K.
Sorry...
Don't know — I looked at the report again, and after it says that UA 93 was at 35,000 and then descended 700 feet, it doesn't mention the plane's altitude again. It might have descended further or it might not have, but there's nothing about it in the report.Stuponfucious said:How is that pissible?

Cap’n AMatrixca said:At 450 miles per hour, too fast to keep cell contact, how far can a plane plunge?

i tried but felt myself slipping into a coma less than 1/4 of the way through.

Sorry, about that — carry on.
You've never been in a plane, have you?Lovelynice said:And about that BARBARA OLSON CALL
According to the story, on the American Airlines Flight 77 from Washington, Barbara Olson, locked herself in the lavatory to call her husband, Solicitor General Theodore Olson.
In the early version of the story, she called on a CELLPHONE (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/1539193.stm) but then people said that this was rather suspicious so the story was changed that she was calling using an Airfone.
Since, when did Airfones have extra-long extension cords that could reach into the bathroom?
And Ted seriously can not keep his story straight.

It might be a total of three feet from the bathroom to the nearest Airfone.
