Cell phones - Debunk911myths
Of course it doesn't prove anything but neither does the experiment you quoted since they both posit differing conditions.
As for the hijackers - try this:
Hijackers - Debunk911myths
Once again, not conclusive proof but both instances raise enough doubt about these "smoking guns" of cellphones and hijackers.
Do more than "skim" the debunking sites and you'll see that pretty much all the "smoking gun" stuff (eg. squibs, thermite, etc.) have plausible alternative explanations. Further, they demonstrate how quotes are taken out of context and "experts" are not supported by actual experts.
Finally, this is the last tit-for-tat I'll engage in with you. This thread started with an audacious claim that in fact is very weak -- just like all the other loose connections/facts that are used to piece this
fantasy together.
Listen, bham, there is a reason for me discrediting the website your cited. It's not because they "refute" my claims, but because they present mis-leading information. For instance, in the Cell Phones link, it's clear what they fail to mention. Also, the hi-jackers link provides nothing to refute the fact that phony IDs were used (CNN). The hi-jackers WERE NOT the same as the one's on their phony IDs. According to the FBI and MSM (they use the ID names), 6 of the "hi-jackers" are still alive. What's so hard to grasp about that? Look at how misleading this claim is:
Theory
9/11 conspiracy theories often assert that cell phones do not work on airplanes, and the cell phone calls from
Ed Felt and CeeCee Lyles couldn't have happened.
That's TWO of the THIRTEEN cell phone calls made that day. If that's their point, that phone call
can be made at low altitudes, then I cannot disagree with them. But those were, to my knowledge, the last TWO, so they would have been during the lowest altitude points, thus giving them the greatest chance to complete a cell phone call. I don't doubt that phone calls
could have been made under 5k altitude, but I do call blasphemy on anyone who suggests that those cell phones calls could have been made at 30k+ altitude. According to Deena Burnett, to the best of her recollection, the phone call she received was at 9:20.
Take a look at that altitude, bham. Did Tom Burnett really make a phone call at 35,000 feet? Have you lost the will to view the information with an open mind or are you just entirely ignorant?
Now move onto another caller. Just before 9:30 am, a man claiming to be Jeremy Glick called Lyz Glick. 9:30 = 35k altitude. Again. How can anyone suggest this is even remotely possible? The man claiming to be Tom Burnett called Deena Burnett again around 9:30 am. 9:30 = 35k altitude. Todd Beamer to Lisa Jefferson at 9:45 am = approx. 20k altitude. Extremely unlikely. At 9:47 Lorne Lyles's answering machine picked up his wife, CeeCee's call. CeeCee cell call = approx. 20k altitude. When does it reach the point where all cell phone calls, when factored in as a whole, become evident of foul play? Sometime after 9:30, Fred Fiumano received a call from someone claiming to be his friend, Marion Britton. Altitude @ 9:30-35k, 9:35-approx. 37k, 9:40-approx 41k.
Folks, it's time you stop viewing the information on a priori grounds. I don't understand how you all can convince yourselves that all is well, everything is business as usual, when there is a staggering amount of evidence which points to many factions of the U.S. government being complicit in 9/11. There is a reason the information on that website in easily debunkable and mis-leading. It's used as a tool for coincidence theorists to fall-back upon when confronted with the 'other side' of the argument. Don't take everything I say as true, research this information, go the extra mile for this thing and see for yourselves!
Here is an excerpt from page 14 of David Ray Griffin's book "Debunking 9/11 Debunking: An Answer to Popular Mechanics and Other Defenders of the Official Conspiracy Theory:" This is not a
fantasy. Wake UP!

Moreover, if my 9/11 books are nutty, as Cockburn suggests, then people who endorse them must also be nuts. The list of nuts would hence include economist Michel Chossudovsky, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern, British Minister of Parliament Michael Meacher, former Assistant Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of Housing Catherine Austin Fitts, journalists Wayne Madsen and Barrie Zwicker, Institute for Policy Studies co-founder Marcus Raskin, former diplomat Peter Dale Scott, international law professors Richard Falk Burns Weston, social philosopher John McMurtry, theologians John B. Cobb, Harvey Cox, Carter Heyward, Catherine Keller, and Rosemary Reuther, ethicists Joseph C. Hough and Douglas Sturm, writer A.L. Kennedy, media critic and professor of culture Mark Crispin Miller, attorney Garry Spence, historians Richard Horsley and Howard Zinn, and the late Rev. William Sloane Coffin, who, after a stint in the CIA, became one of the country's leading preachers and civil rights, anti-war, and anti-nuclear activists.
Futhermore, if anyone who believes the alternative conspiracy theory, rather than the official conspiracy theory, is by definition a nut, then Cockburn would have to sling that label at Philip J. Berg, former deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania; Colonel Robert Bowman, who flew over 100 combat missions in Vietnam and earned a Ph.D. in aeronautics and nuclear engineering before becoming head of the "Star Wars" program during the Ford and Carter administrations; Andreas Von Bulow, formerly state secretary in the German Federal Ministry of Defense, minister of research and technology, and member of parliament, where he served on the intelligence committee; Lt. Col. Steve Butler, formerly vice chancellor for student affairs at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California; Guiletto Chiesa, an Italian member of the European parliament; Bill Christison, formerly a national intelligence officer in the CIA and director of its Office of Strategic and Political Analysis; A.K. Dewdney, emeritus professor of mathematics and computer science and long-time columnist for Scientific American; General Leonid Ivashov, formerly chief of staff of the Russian armed forces; Captain Eric H. May, formerly an intelligence officer in the US Army; Colonel George Nelson, formerly an airplane accident investigation expert in the US Air Force; Colonel Ronald D. Ray, a highly decorated Vietnam veteran who became deputy assistant secretary of defense during the Reagan administration; Morgan Reynolds, former director of the Criminal Justice Center at the National Center for Policy Analysis and former chief economist at the Department of Labor; Robert David Steele, who had a 25-year career in intelligence, serving both as a CIA clandestine services case officer and as a US Marine Corps intelligence officer; Captain Russ Wittenberg, a former Air Force fighter pilot with over 100 combat missions, after which he was a commercial airlines pilot for 35 years; Captain Gregory M. Zeigler, former intelligence officer in the US Army; all member of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice, Veterans for 9/11 Truth, Pilots for 9/11 Truth, and S.P.I.N.E.: the Scientific Panel Investigating Nine-Eleven; and most of the college and university professors listed under "Professors Question 9/11" on the Patriots Question 9/11 website.
Would Cockburn really want to suggest that these people are "nuts" with "no conception of evidence," no awareness of "military history," and no grasp of "common sense" and "the real world"? Cockburn's absurd charges are valuable, however, because they illustrate just how far the labeling of people as "conspiracy theorists" can lead otherwise sensible people away from the real world, in which many very intelligent and experienced people, who cannot by the wildest stretch be called "nuts," have concluded on the basis of evidence, that 9/11 was, at least in part, an inside job.
