Something I remember about 9-11
A while back I remember hearing that Amy Sweeney (the stewardess on the flight that hit tower 1) knew the hijackers were going to crash the plane, but didn't notify the passengers, so they wouldn't worry.

She was on the phone with individuals from the FAA I believe, as soon as the hijacking began. If she knew they were going to crash the 1st plane, I'm sure the FAA knew, so why didn't they scramble planes immediately?

1. it is quite obvious
that for whatever reason, the military was ordered to stand down. Why the media has never questioned this dereliction of duty is criminal.

3. Here's a link to the story

about the calls from the stewardess on Flight 11. I don't think she knew that they were going to crash the plane until the very end.

However, the calls from Flight 93 were a different matter. The quote you are referring to is probably from a passenger that was on this flight: The Reverend Frank Colacicco described how Mr Burnett said: "I know we're all going to die - there's three of us who are going to do something about it."
