Too bad the data didn’t port over.

Wow, in 2001, he had one hell of a good cell phone.

I could be wrong, but I thought it was one of the plane's air phones, not a cell phone.

“Something happened...” on 9/11

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Sorry...I meant the vid of Biden kneeling.

[V K Lee]

Thank You for this post. First time in reading the transcript, though more than likely heard the recording at some point in time. Thank you, Todd. Our Lord provides and this day you were there; His Vessel.

Brave, handsome, caring husband, father and patriot. We all admire his courage and mourn his death.

It was an Airphone. They were installed equipment on airliners back then. Quite common.

BTW, I'm getting tears in my eyes too. BTW, I remember picking up airphones on my police scanner, IIRC, they were ij the 894-902 Mc area, just above the old AMPS cellphone band and channel 83 UHF. They were in AM mode IIRC.

Who’s chopping onions in my computer room all of a sudden?

[grey_whiskers]

we need more todd beamers.

We need ZERO Muslims. #FJB

They were / are “hero’s” I hope their families know there are some who appreciate their honor, passion and sacrifice. I do. Their bravery with limited time, intel, and preparedness is an honor to them and them alone. I toast their heroism. I really like their simple battle cry. Let’s roll.

Biden’s challenge is let’s fondle. Pathetic leader of men. I am sad for … well everything.

The operator, Lisa, gave an interview about Todd Beamer’s call.

Here’s that interview:

I can’t see the screen though the tears. His kids must be so proud. God bless them all. Like someone said up thread. We need to do like Todd with our country...Let’s Roll!!!

[metmom]

He said they refused to be their pawns.

I guess that’s what it gets down to, doesn’t it?

Are we going to be their pawns and do what they say, to our own demise, or are we going to at least go down fighting?

[metmom]

How could she do that without breaking down?

I wanted to cry just listening to her.

[Tired of Taxes]

With her soft, calm voice, she was the right person to talk with Todd Beamer that day.

Just thinking of these passengers rushing the cockpit, trying to gain control of the plane, up to the last moment... makes me teary-eyed, too.
