Another interesting element to the story was that back then the passengers could call and text from their cell phones on the plane

Well, there was no texting back then but yes, those calls revealed the story of the Flight 93 heroes. We know from those calls that some of the passengers took matters into their own hands. "Let's roll."

Interestingly, at least one of those cell phone calls also recorded a significant explosion. One caller who was on the phone at the time mentioned the blast. Speculation is that the explosion was a missle fired by a fighter jet, and that is probably what brought the plane down.

I fully expected Congressional hearings and for the liberal media to say Bush shot the plane down and murdered all those innocent Americans

Nope. Bush would have exposed the truth about the downing of Flight 800 off of Long Island during the Clinton regime. Sometimes, the scumbag liberals know when to keep their stinking mouths shut.

“One caller who was on the phone at the time mentioned the blast. Speculation is that the explosion was a missile fired by a fighter jet, and that is probably what brought the plane down.”
Do you really believe that someone inside a plane that had been struck by a missile would have time to comment on the fact? Speculation is the product of gullible people swallowing stories based on conjecture and not on facts.

IIRC, it was reported that at least one of the terrorists on board did have a bomb. The movie, United 93 made about that flight, and the passengers who fought back, also showed that one of the terrorists strapped on a bomb to gain compliance of the crew and passengers. It's likely that in the struggle, the bomb was detonated.

Even if they had shot United 93 from the sky, it would have been preferable to what may have lay ahead with an even greater loss of life in a highly populated area.
