American Airlines Could Have Saved That Flight; Instead They Tried to Keep the Hijackings Secret
What You Won't See in Flight 93, the Film


The only people to defend the United States on 911 were the passengers and crews of the 4 hijacked planes.

The President and the Secretary of Defense, the two top officials in the chain of command responsible for defense the country were out of commission. Dick Cheney, the vice president, who under the constitution has no authority to issue orders, was running the country from the White House bunker. The FAA and the military were nowhere.

On Flight 11, flight attendants Betty Ong and Amy Sweeney were on the phone to American Airlines ground personnel minutes after the hijacking began. Even though both the FAA and the airlines had been warned more than 50 times in the months preceding the attack, officials on the ground reacted with skepticism an annoyance to Betty Ong’s desperate call.

According to one account by people who have listened to all the tapes, American Airlines people were anxious to keep what was going on secret. An American Airlines tape, according to Gail Sheehy in the New York Observer, shows the managers were concerned about keeping things secret. People who listened to the tapes said there were statements including the following: "Keep it close,’’ "keep it quiet’’, "Let’s keep this among ourselves.’’

9/11 was a crime committed by the bushmilhousegang

what are the names of the traitors at American Airlines?

[BrklynLiberal]

1. Excellent question. The list of traitors starts with Bush, Cheney, etal

who OBVIOUSLY considered every person who perished on 9/11 expendable!!!

[Kikosexy2]

4. Bottom...

line bush & co knew and let it happen for political capital and push their Iraq quagmire and other devious agenda forward...God if you hear us...punish these murderous bastards!!

[burythehatchet]

2. I won't see anything in the film

because I refuse to see a work of fiction that claims to represent something resembling reality.

[BrklynLiberal]

3. Ditto.

[NNadir]

5. I was going to say the same thing.

[zbdent]

6. Is that why the FAA destroyed all the tapes of

the air traffic controllers?

[RaleighNCDUer]

7. I first thought something was fishy on the first day, when it was

reported that they 'lost' the hijacked planes because they had turned off their transponders.

And all the civilian and military radar systems on the East Coast couldn't find them?

That just screams 'bullshit' to me.

[A HERETIC I AM]

12. You know what the transponder actually does, don't you?

just askin

[DoYouEverWonder]

13. Who needs stealth fighter jets

if all you have to do is turn off a transponder?

[Chiyo-chichi]

8. Surely the 9/11 Commission thoroughly investigated this claim?

:sarcasm:

[deaniac21]

9. I'll see it when Oliver Stone directs it.

[Beaverhausen]

10. I thought no calls were "really' made from the plane

I can't keep all these theories straight. :crazy:

[LostinVA]

11. ha! Good point

Satellite phones will work, ground based will not. Few people have satellite phones. Airliners are equipped with them.
