Islam is the Religion of Peace pissed-off bump Also worth a listen: Immediately following the Flight 93 audio is the song "She Kissed a Hero". It's about Todd Beamer's wife kissing her husband goodbye on the morning of 9-11, not knowing at the time that she was kissing a hero goodbye. It will tear you up.
Islam is the Religion of Peace pissed-off bumpThis morning, Jim Quinn, host of "The War Room" (WRRK 96.9 FM Pittsburgh & warroom.com) played an audio tape made at Cleveland Center (flight control) on the morning of 9-11. To protect his source, Quinn would not say who gave it to him, but it apparently is genuine.
The tape starts with Cleveland Center attempting to reach the crew of Flight 93, as they were in Cleveland's zone at the time. Heard is Cleveland speaking to other pilots who state they had overheard "yelling" and "screaming" over the airwaves. Other pilots visually help verify Flight 93's position because the hijackers have not responded to Cleveland.
Then, a hijacker, speaking very rapidly, tells Cleveland that there is a bomb on board. Pilots in the air confirm that they heard the statement about the bomb, and that Flight 93 had turned and headed back east. The hijacker comes back on the air and again repeats that there is a bomb on the plane.

My feeling on this is that we must never ever forget; we must never ever forgive until arabic is spoken only in hell--and not even then. I certainly hope that I'm not confronted in person by some whining raghead today complaining about how he/she/it is being mistreated because of 9/11.
Some of the jargon they were talking about:
"Level three five zero" just means United 93 was cruising at 35,000 feet.
When you hear Cleveland Center say, "If you read me - Ident." He is asking for them to hit a button on the Transponder, or IFF (Identification Friend or Foe). The Ident button makes you light up like a Christmas tree on radar. The IFF code you are assigned is your "squawk."
I hope they allow pilots to be armed. Airline pilots are the most heavily screened profession in history. Medically, mentally, and for aptitude. One half of all airline pilots are former military officers.
The fact that some in the Dept of Transportation oppose arming pilots is madness.
Do a search of Israeli Airlines "El Al" (who arm their pilots) and see how many hijackings they have had.
That sad excuse for a civilized culture is destined for a deserved and permanent oblivion.
