9/11 Commission Report

[jerseydevil]

I was just wondering if anyone else has gotten the 9/11 Commission Report

I purchased it at Barnes and Nobles the day it was released and initially skimmed through it. I am now reading it.

It is in narrative form - not legalese. So it's easy to read and very interesting. You can also download it - but I wanted the book.

This thread is to discuss what is in the 9/11 Commission report.

One thing I was surprised by are the number of phone calls which came from the hi-jacked planes. I knew there were several calls - but when they are laid out in the book - it shows just how many there were.

This is a call from Peter Hanson to his father Lee Hanson. Peter was on flight 175...

It's getting bad, Dad -- A stewardess was stabbed -- They seem to have knives and mace -- They said they have a bomb -- It's getting very bad on the plane -- Passengers are throwing up and getting sick -- The plane is making jerky movements -- I don't think the pilot is flying the plane -- I think we are going down -- I think they intend to go to Chicago or someplace and fly into a building -- Don't worry, Dad -- If it happens, it'll be very fast -- My God, My God.

Lee Hanson heard a woman scream when the call abruptly ended, turned on the tv and saw his son's plane fly into the south tower. This is the plane that flew right over my house as it made it's turn to attack the Twin Towers.
