KC >>No, they listened to cockpit tapes too, right up to the crash. Parts that were not released to the public.<<
How could that be? I think you have Flight 93
>>"In Chapter 1, footnote 76, there is the sole but definitive reference to the airline black boxes: The CVRs and the FDRs [voice and flight data recorders] from American 11 and United 175 were not found."<
Yes, I meant flight 93, thats the only boxes that were found, and the relatives got to hear more of the tape then the public at large. The boxes from the airliners that went into the WTC would have been ground up with the airliners themselves. How much of the aircraft were ever found? Not much I would bet.
