Ted was speaking to his wife during the hijacking. She was on the plane. She was a very high profile media person. I take her word for it, she was a real eye witness, died at the Pentagon and was talking to Ted on her cell giving him a blow by blow update.... (Ted Olson, whom I know, so I know of which I speak) !!!! The excerpt from the article below was dated Sept 11, 2001, the day of the attacks .... Here you go... Although officials said the attacks appeared to have been well planned and executed, a passenger on the plane that hit the Pentagon said in cell phone call to her husband that the terrorists were armed with knives and box cutters. The passenger was Barbara Olson, a CNN commentator and wife of Solicitor General Theodore Olson. (Ted Olson) Attorney General John Ashcroft in his briefing to members of Congress said the hijackers were working in groups of three to five members. "We will expend every effort and devote all the necessary resources to bring the people responsible for these acts -- these crimes -- to justice," Ashcroft said. American Airlines Flight 11, carrying 81 passengers and 11 crew members en route from Boston to Los Angeles, slammed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in Manhattan shortly before 9 a.m. About 15 minutes later, United Airlines Flight 175, also en route from Boston to Los Angeles, with 56 passengers and nine crew members aboard, crashed into the south tower. The building exploded into flames and collapsed. Another building, 7 World Trade Center, collapsed hours later. It had been burning since shortly after the planes stuck the Twin Towers. Other nearby buildings are ablaze in the area. A Boeing 757 jet plowed into the Pentagon at 9:45 a.m. Witnesses said the plane hit what is known as the "Army Corridor." FBI sources said the aircraft was an American Airlines flight hijacked after taking off from Washington Dulles International Airport bound for Los Angeles. A fourth aircraft, United Airlines Flight 93 from Newark, New Jersey, headed for San Francisco, crashed in a wooded area near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Police said there were no survivors. There were 38 passengers, five flight attendants and two pilots. "The plane is thoroughly disintegrated," Jim Marker of Somerset County's 911 Emergency Management Center told CNN. "There are no remains, no survivors. Senior FBI sources said, "There is no doubt the planes [all four] were hijacked." Intelligence sources told CNN there were indications of attempts to divert the United flight from Newark to crash at Camp David, Maryland, the presidential retreat. It is unclear how that plan may have been thwarted. U.S. military officials said none of the planes were shot down by U.S. aircraft. They did not know that specific plane was involved. Callers from two of the other hijack planes called on cell phones to say their planes had been hijacked. For a complete link to the entire article: archives.cnn.com
