I tend to agree. He was rather nasty ("your air-conditioned office") to a 911 operator who was doing what

little she could to help him. Yeah, everybody else has been posting how he was under such stress, etc. -- that's exactly the point. Extraordinary stress brings out 'the real you.' We have plenty of recorded phone calls of other people, like those on the hijacked jets or in other emergencies altogether, who do *not* take out their fears and frustrations on whoever happens to answer the phone.

Maybe this situation was a little more 'real' to this guy...He had the smoke and he seemed to know for sure he was going to die...He clearly had no hope...The ones on the planes mabe had some hope of survival...

What struck me were this guy's last words...He called out to God...It was a prayer of desperation...Destitution...That's what it take for lots of folks to call on God...

Was it enough to get saved??? I hope so...I suspect there were many, many people that were waiting for the end who had private conversations with God...And maybe some didn't...
