I believe from the context of the article that “the owner” is in league with the terrorist. It certainly would be odd to happen to have a camcorder readily available during the last part of the flight.
BTW, the author makes a big deal about how “most everyone has a cell phone with camera or video capabilities”, ignoring, incredibly, the long established ban on cell phone use during flights.
Uh? It's merely two button presses away on most cell phones. ...ignoring, incredibly, the long established ban on cell phone use during flights.
You're funny. If you've flown in the last 10 years, you would know that the stews even tell you to put your phone where you can reach it without getting up because they allow you to use it while taxiing after landing. It's in 9 out of 10 biz travellers' shirt/coat pockets. I'm surprised there's only one video, frankly.
Oh, and remember "Let's Roll?" That was overheard by Beamer's wife from his cell phone which he and others used to confirm what was happening.
It had to be a passenger on the flight. We can be certain they have all been tracked down. Which one held the video cam?
It would also be odd to film an event that you *thought* was going to bring down the aircraft...
