Death in the Clouds

#zeemax

Yaar, cell phones are tricky things. When I drive next door to my house, I lose the signal. The same thing can happen in the air.

Sir, like they say ...khayal apna apna, pasand apni apni! I will try to dig up more of my "buried" pieces for your enjoyment.

The "At Bertram's Hotel" piece is indirectly related to the current piece, it required a lot more research than this one and took a lot longer. Still, I personally prefer the current piece. Like they say, even the most loving of parents can not distribute their love among the "babies" in equal amounts! :(

Now come off it, before you turn into Zee's sancho panja!

to shoot

In hind-sight yes, the title of the article affirms my contention that United 93 was indeed shot in the air and the pax were all dead in the clouds.

BJ, this was done to prevent WTC-like disaster(or anybody who saw the live braodacst on 11/9 can tell us). Govt of the US now cant tell that they indeed killed its own citizens.

P.S: It's Dick Cheney who ordered USAF to shot the commercial aircrafts.

9/11 COMMISSION PROCEEDINGS : Lee Hamilton and Transport Secretary Norman Mineta.

9/11 was the biggest fraud in american history, right up there with Gulf of Tonkin.

The fact that a few people could fool an entire nation full of PhDs is quite amazing. This nation, which gave the world some of the most amazing specimen of architectural wonders, has been clobbered into believing that WTC building #7 could collapse on 9/11/2001 even though it wasnt hit by any plane or even debris.

This nation of telecom engineers has been fooled into believing that flight 93's passengers made phone calls from 40,000 feet above ground!

This nation of forensic experts has been beaten into believing that flight 93 was brought down to ground, even though its wreckage was spread over 4 miles area.

This nation of skeptics has been fooled into believing that even though the planes full of fuel allegedly brought down 2 towers, that somehow ONE passport survived intact - the passport of a highjacker! I guess it flew out of the window of plane and landed in FBI's lap :)

Are you evading the questions Sir? Did the passengers have satellite phones or cellphones?

......... then there is still some hope ......

I am fully convinced that man landed on the moon, and am skeptical that a bedouin flew to heaven on a winged horse .....

BUT, I know as a FACT that you can't talk on the cellphone from an aircraft till literally seconds after take-off.

Have you had your pint yet?

However, there's one plausible explanation to this:

The passengers had 'satellite phones' instead of ordinary cellphones. Then it would indeed be possible, because ONLY those work anywhere between the sub-saharan desert to the inner orbit !!!

bj,

......... bertram's hotel was nice ... very nice

you do good work when you are not busy copying the bible ..

Re: # 27

bj,

.... i hate to say this, but the only thing that was moved by your mawkish piece was my bowel, and i thank you for that - like all desis i too am obsessed with bowel movements .....

...... and there is no point in arguing with zeemax - the man still thinks that man never landed on the moon and the whole thing is a nasa/hollywood production ....... on the other hand he also believes that a bedouin flew to heaven on a winged horse .......... go figure

Yaar bhai I'm not making any conspiracy theory. I'm just looking for an answer whether cellular phones can be used in aircraft after take-off. Honestly, that's all.

I've tried several airports in several countries including USA. And I couldn't get the signal as soon as the aircraft cleared the damn runway!

zeemax,

.... stop acting like a chump! ........ what's with you and conspiracy theories? ..... next thing we know, you will be claiming that you have been abducted by little green zionists from mars and that one of them looked like bj ......

I'll remember to do that. However in the meantime, I assume tahmed32 means the "Let's Roll' team were happily chatting away on their cellphones at 40,000 feet, and continued to do so hanging by the roof when it suddenly nosedived to 20,000 feet and then stood on its tail straight down from 10,000 !!!

#various Zee

Yaar, next time the pilot asks you to turn off the cell phone during the flight, please pay attention. The way I understand it, if you do not do that - its signal could interfere with the flight's navigational broadcast/reception signals and pose a hazard!

1) See below for the flight path of Flight 93 to know at what altitude the plane suddenly nosedived. It was 40,000 feet.

2)Because I've tried :) No more signal just after take off!
