What happened to Flight 93?
At 08:42 on September 11th 2001, United Airlines flight 93 took off from Newark Liberty International Airport loaded with 37 passengers (including 4 hijackers and 7 crew). A Boeing 757 bound for San Francisco, it was the fourth aircraft to be hijacked, and which eventually, so the official explanation tells us, crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania after the passengers, seemingly led by Todd Beamer, heroically tried to overcome the hijackers.
Conflicting media reports? Where is wreckage and other usual signs of an aircraft crash?
There are many conflicting reports regarding flight 93 - it crashed, it landed safely, it was shot down, it was a drone, there were bodies, there were no bodies! Flight 93 is the only flight on September 11th 2001 to have its voice box recorder retrieved.
Many of us have watched news reports of aircraft which have crashed straight into the ground, or the side of a mountain or hill. There is always identifiable wreckage to be seen. As stated earlier, the official story claims that the passengers tried to overcome the hijackers, control of the aircraft was lost and it dived into an empty field, disintegrating on impact. But news reports at the time seem to cast doubt on this. During a Fox News interview, the interviewer asks Chris Konicki, a photographer, “Any large pieces of debris at all?……Smoke?….Fire?" to which Chris replies “Na, there was nothing, nothing that you could distinguish that a plane had crashed there….No smoke. No fire”.
Willy Miller, Somerset County coroner stated that it looks like someone dug a hole and filled it with trash”, he states he “stopped being a coroner after about 20mins…there were no bodies”.
The following video contains rare footage of 9/11 Flight 93 taken at the time. You may remember them, but you won't see them on mainstream news nowadays.
Other conflicting eyewitness reports of the time?
Laura Temyer, an eyewitness, is reported to have said “I heard like a boom and the engine sounded funny. I heard two more booms, and then I did not hear anything. I think the plane was shot down”.
Val McClatchey, a local resident, managed to take a photograph, which was published in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, which shows what appears to be an ordnance blast plume rising from the crash site area. Other eyewitnesses have reported seeing 'another jet' which could have been responsible for this to make it appear like a 757 had indeed crashed there.
Susan McElwarn was an eyewitness close to the scene of the crash. Watch her eyewitness testimony.
Also perplexing is a comment made by Mayor White on WCPO-TV in Cincinnati that on 11th September 2001 at 11:43 “the plane had been moved to a secure area of (Hopkins) airport and was evacuated. United identified the plane as flight 93”.
Also puzzling is that it is reported that a United Airlines worker, David Friedman (who records all his flights) spotted flight 93(registered N591UA) at O’Hare airport, Chicago, on the 10th April 2003! Furthermore, why did it take the American Federal Aviation Administration nearly four years to "cancel" their registration for this aircraft? Bureacratic incompetence, you may say, but, if so, one has to ask just what is the point of having a central registry if it takes so long to keep the records updated? See their entry at
Federal Aviation Registry
If you think that taking four years to cancel the registration of that aircraft was incompetence, look at the date of the "cancellation" of Flight 175, one of the aircraft alledgedly crashed into World Trade Centre 2, see their entry at
Federal Aviation Registry
Very puzzling indeed......
Cell phone calls from over 35,000 feet?
According to customer service supervisor Lisa Jefferson, one of the passengers Todd Beamer’s last audible words on a cell phone were “Are you guys ready? Lets roll.” There were many phone calls reportedly made from flight 93 using cell phones and an ‘in-plane’ phone.
But it is questionable whether any cell phone calls could have been made from a Boeing 757 flying 500mph at an altitude of 35,000 feet in 2001. It wasn’t until July 2004 that American airlines announced that they had the technology installed for such calls to take place, which begs the question - why spend so much money in 2004 installing a cell station when the cell phones supposedly worked so well in 2001?
In an experiment carried out by Professor A.K .Dewdney in various light aircraft (project Achilles), extensive tests were conducted and the report concluded that the chances of making such a call in 2001 would have had a 0.6% success rate. The report concluded:-
“It is generally agreed upon that all the airliners that crashed on September 11, 2001, flew at a high cruising speed of 500 mph and more until they crashed. Thus, it seems safe to say that no cell phone of any type could have established any stable connection to any cell site at that speed, no matter which height the planes flew at. This is particularly true for United Airlines flight 93, which did not only fly at high speed but also at a relatively high altitude during the time when the alleged cell phone calls were placed“.
