James > this article finds someone that agrees with you about 911. Thanks very much. And I agree with most of what he says except I am convinced that elements in the US government arranged the attack. In my opinion, there is too much evidence which points to active, rather than passive, involvement. >>>According to Griffin, a case can be made that the Bush administration arranged the attack, or allowed it to happen.<<< Secondly, I don't accept that much of the "cellphone evidence" is true for the simple reason that person-to-person communication with cellphones is impossible from airliners flying at speed in country districts. Possibly, while flying low over the City of New York cellphones would work but there would definitely have been no communication possible with the plane which allegedly crashed after a fight involving the passengers over the rural area of Pennsylvania. The reasons I am so emphatic that communication with cellphones is impossible with airliners flying in the country is (a) there are very few ground stations and those there are are along highways or in towns. (b) the antennas in these stations are specially made for horizontal communications and vertical radiation or reception is significantly attenuated. (c) the whole idea of a cellphone is that the signal from the mobile must be detectable from at least two ground stations so that the system knows from what "cell" the communication is taking place. This would clearly be impossible from a high-flying aircraft in the country. (d) concerning the aircraft itself, communication with cellphones is sometimes possible when the plane is flying very low, as on landing or take-off, and the phone user is right up against a window. Clearly in the following circumstance communication would not have been possible. >>>So as one of the passengers is saying, “They’re doing it, they’re forcing their way into the cabin, they’re going to make it.” As soon as that happened, with the FBI listening in, the plane went down. There was a whoosh, then the sound of wind. And people on the ground reported hearing what Vietnam veterans said sounded like a missile.<<< physics911.org >>>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.<<< However, I do agree the plane which crashed in Pennsylvania (Flight 93) was shot down.
