Hi Searle,

Re: I understand that all the rest, if there was anything else, was "destroyed".

I recall one incident being reported of an FAA supervisor confiscating a recording of an after-action conference between several air traffic controllers which was recorded on the afternoon of 9/11/01.

I am unaware of other recordings being "destroyed". Are you referring to the FAA's recordings of all Flight 11 communications?

I seems far fetched that only those three short transmissions survive and that there is not a master recording of the entirety of the Flight 11 communication on the morning of 9/11. Surely the FAA would have been doing a quality control check on its operators and been making sure that the controllers were responding appropriately to any deviation from flight plan. This seems like it would be routine.

The 20 seconds of the recording on the Washington Post site are certainly ambiguous enough as to the speaker's accent so that I cannot make any sort of definitive statement as to the country of origin of the speaker. He sounds broadly "Middle-Eastern" to my ear.
