Since the
hijackers had control of civil airways radios on that fourth plane,
the only available means of communications for the passengers
was by cell phone. Those calls got through.


Of course those calls got through


And that is the point. An emergency call got through. They get
through every day using cellular phones.

dimwit,


Interesting how you smart guys always end up calling people names.
That usually happens about the time they run out of valid arguments.

the plane was in the air away
from any city that was experiencing a disaster, and any number of cell
sites that were not overloaded with thousands attempting dial 911, their
friends, ect., were available.
Do you think if that call had been attempted in NYC it would have gotten
through? Maybe, but more than likely not.


Hmmm. So passengers on airlines should not use cell phones in
emergencies. Every passenger flight should contain one Air Marshall
and one Amateur Radio Operator to handle whatever emergency comes up.
