0lol so the guy posts about a study in which a some % of the calls were completed (maybe the passengers redialed until they got through hello?) but concludes that it's IMPOSSIBLE to call from a plane.

But I don't know of any actual evidence that they don't work.
However, I do know that a plane has to come apart in the air in order to spread parts over a mile on the ground. That much is pretty cut and dry, isn't it?

Do you know for a fact that the passengers were not calling from the phones built into the seats? I'm sure that they would be referred to as cell phones.
I talked on one of those things all the way from West Palm Beach International to Atlanta.

err... no, i think that's sattelite tech, not cel tech.
look...the make-believe terrorists even told the passengers the demands had been met...so why charge the cockpit again? lol...some idiots u ppl r...
"""- unintelligible – This is the captain. We have a bomb on board, - unintelligible - I am going back to the airport, they have met our demands unintelligible -""""
a defining attribute of a government is that it has a monopoly on the legitimate exercise of violence...
But if the cell phone calls went through, I'm sure the people on the plane would be smart enough to know that what was being told to them about demands being met would be bullshit. Especially when everyone knows that the government doesn't bargin with terrorists.
hey if ur dumb enuff to believe passengers crashed the plane and caused debris to be spread over an 8 mile area i guess ur dumb enuff to believe they made cell phone calls from 30,000 feet that lasted 13+ minutes etc etc...

I haven't had time to read past the first page yet, but do they discuss the possibility of making calls at high altitudes?
The engineers that did the study brought a spectrum analyzer on the plane and the data it gathered clearly showed cell phone calls being made in-flight.
Show us some. Stop posting retarded speculation from crackpot dipshits that know just enough lingo to make themselves look like the complete assholes they are.

Gotcha. I'll finish the article before I ask anymore questions, I'm sure it's all in there.
