The cell phone calls from the airplane is what I can’t wrap my head around…have you tried that? It’s impossible…
I remember one call where a guy called his wife to say good bye but he started off saying "I am <firstname lastname>" - sounded very fishy
That struck me as incredibly weird. It was United 93's Mark Bingham.
The story, as told by his mother, goes like this:
Bingham called his mother's phone. His Aunt picked up the phone. He said "Hi, it's Mark" to his Aunt - and proceeded to explain what was happening. When his mother got on the phone, he said "This is Mark Bingham. I want you to know I love you. Three guys have taken over the plane...You've got to believe me. It's true."
I mean - why in the world would you ID yourself by your last name to your mother? Why would your last words about a hijacking be "You've got to believe me."
Maybe he had 2 calls happening at the same time, on hold with 911 operator who transferred him to the FBI, and while waiting he dialed his mom?
