I've always questioned the whole "calls from the planes" part of the stories from that day. I didn't think cell phones worked when up in the air on jets, at least not back in 2001. Can anyone provide a reasonable explanation of how it could have been possible back then?

I don't think it's even possible now, let alone then. The call connection hand-offs between towers doesn't work. Every now and then an initial connection can be made, but it only works for a brief period, certainly less than a minute.
