My husband and I discussed this last month when he was flying, or rather whenever he flies. I told him if his plane was ever hijacked NOT to call me. I don't want the last time I hear his voice to be filled with anxiousness, fear or sadness. I would want to remember his loving laughter as he kissed our children goodbye and the passionate way he says I love you when he leaves me
What about you? would you want a phone call ?

yes my husband is very lucky to have me. I tell him everyday hes the world to me. we've been together 14 yrs and counting. so you're saying the people on the flights that didnt call their loved ones are selfish?
how nice of you to disrespect the dead

I would want that final opportunity to say I love you to my wife and tell her how glad I was to have been blessed to have her in my life. I hope I never face a day like that.

Of course I'd want a phone call! Maybe the only time I'd rather be on a phone. It would, in my opinion, be better knowing that we had an opportunity to share the ordeal, rather than either of us suffering alone. My marriage is about sharing. The flight of my bride on Sep11th from Hawaii to Sydney was within an hour of the closure of Honolulu International Airport! While we all were in shock & disbelief, the added uncertainty of her ability to depart was excruciating. We were reluctant to travel without me in the 1st place & only the expense prevented us from going together for a necessary personal business trip.. We won't be travelling on airplanes without each other again!

It would be really hard for me, but yes I would want them to call. Even if just to help them remember the happy times before they die or to be a loved one helping them through it those last moments they are alive. It would be a sense of closure on both sides. They could say goodbye and rest in peace and I would know that I did everything I could to make them happy before the time came.

Yes I would. I feel that when a person is in iniment danger they need to hear a love-one's voice. I want to know that if they died that the last thing they would remember was hearing my "I love you" again. I know that since I am so close to my husband no matter what I would remember his laughter, his voice, his comforting touch.

Yes, I would definately want the call so that I might have the chance to comfort my spouse in the last moments and be there when I'm needed. Your answer is very selfish, stop thinking about yourself and think what you can do for him in his last moments. Doesn't sound like he is a very lucky guy having you not there for him.

I am on both sides with this.. My brother lost his life in the WTC and I think about the people who did call their families and I wish my brotgher would have been able to call us. Yet I think about the time it took for them to call their families and how they could have been using that time to get out. Im left with memories great memories but sometimes I would have loved to hear his voice that last time.... other times I'm glad I didn't have to hear him going threw all that drama. It hurts enough knowing that he had to go threw all of it.

Yes. Even if I didn't "want" to hear those things in his voice, at that time and place it's not about what I want anymore, but what I can do to make him feel as though he's not alone. I can't imagine putting my "wants" above the desire of my husband to hear my voice one last time and say goodbye. That's sort of mind-boggling.

If my life partner were in such a situation, I would say I want a phone call. I would be brave and tell her to be brave too. Even if the worst should happen, I will forever be content with the fact that her last moments were spent with me.
If she didn't call, I would forever live with the haunting memory that I didn't spend time during her dying moments.

Yes I would want a phone call. Even if there was nothing I could do at least I'd be able to comfort them and they wouldn't be alone in their final moments. I would cherish that forever and thank God for being able to be with a loved one in their last moments.

Yes, I want to be able to tell them that I love them for the last time, and I could still remember the happy times later.
