When Flight 93 and other flights that were hijacked. How was the people aboard able to call family when they say you cant use your phone on airplane because you wouldnt be able to get a signal.

Not weird at all. Almost all the calls were made from the on-board "Air-Phones." Besides, even cell phones back then were able to receive signals up to 50,000 ft, the highest altitude the planes achieved was 40,000 ft.

It's not that they won't work, it's that it's against Federal law to use a cell phone while in the air on the off chance that they'll mess with the plane's instruments (the phones on the plane use different technology).
On flight 93, it was kind of a moot point.

Republicans did no longer spend a penny investigating Clinton. Ken Starr became named a definite prosecutor, after Janet Reno requested the three decide panel to nominate him in 1994 on the time, there became a democratic majority interior the residing house and Senate. 2. as quickly as appointed, the sole guy or woman who ought to eliminate Ken Starr as particular prosecutor, became the lawyer regularly occurring, janet reno. 3. The FBI became the lead enterprise for the 9/11 examine, with help from all different government agencies. the value of that examine became very just about 1000000000 money. Your complicated the 9/11 committee, which wasn';t there to look at 9/11, yet to make concepts on the thank you to dodge yet another 9/11

i've been on several planes with phones in them in the last 20 years. i think you could get a signal, but you could also mess up the planes instraments or radar? kinda like using a cell in the hospital. even though there is a new case study out for hospitals saying it dont matter.

Cell phones have always worked in air planes. The crew always tells passengers to shut their phones off in the plane, so they do not interfere with radio and radar signals.

they don't want you to use phones on a plane because it could interfere with their electronics in the cockpit, not because you can't get a signal, so on 9/11 the hijackers allowed the people on the plane to call and tell their families goodby.

Every plane I have been on has had phones. In regards to cell phones, GPS phones use Satellite technology.

Do some research and I think you'll find that the movie they put out on that flight is pure fallacy.
Using cell phones would pose problems that high up in the sky. Besides, they usually don't let you use cell phones since they can interfere with their communications.

As an electronic expert and this study has conclusively proved that these calls used voice synthesis and caller ID spoofing with a good possibility that chemicals were used to kill any possible survivors prior to impact to twin towers. Planes were remotely controlled by satellite...........isnt geospatial intelligence something else?

And yes, these phone calls were disinformation released to the public as cell phone boosters were not in existance in 2001.
