"This rejection of Ted Olson�??s story by American Airlines, the Pentagon, and especially the FBI is a development of utmost importance. Without the alleged calls from Barbara Olson, there is no evidence that Flight 77 returned to Washington. Also, if Ted Olson�??s claim was false, then there are only two possibilities: Either he lied or he was duped by someone using voice-morphing technology to pretend to be his wife. In either case, the official story about the calls from Barbara Olson was based on deception. And if that part of the official account of 9/11 was based on deception, should we not suspect that other parts were as well?
The fact that Ted Olson�??s report has been contradicted by other defenders of the official story about 9/11 provides grounds for demanding a new investigation of 9/11. This internal contradiction is, moreover, only one of 25 such contradictions discussed in my most recent book, 9/11 Contradictions: An Open Letter to Congress and the Press."
Notes: Ted Olson was Solicitor General. The story is heavily documented, at article bottom.
The point is that Olson claims his wife called him (twice). But cell phones don’t work (in 2001) at that height. Then, the plane she was on didn’t have seat plane-to-ground phones. How’d she call him? The terrorists would have stopped her.

The call(s) didn’t originate from that plane.[/quote]
Cell phone work from that height and did in 2001 but the calls get frequently dropped. Stop posting misinformation.

FBI says it never happened:
“The most serious official contradiction of Ted Olson�??s story came in 2006 at the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called 20th hijacker. The evidence presented to this trial by the FBI included a report on phone calls from all four 9/11 flights. In its report on American Flight 77, the FBI report attributed only one call to Barbara Olson and it was an �??unconnected call,�?? which (of course) lasted �??0 seconds.�??9 According to the FBI, therefore, Ted Olson did not receive a single call from his wife using either a cell phone or an onboard phone.”

Well, I did. Besides the horrific layout, it does not say how you believe a cell phone couldn’t be used at on a plane.[/quote]
The technology for that wasn’t developed until 2004. That’s not in the article but is what now known. To call someone from a plane at 30,000 feet and have a conversation is just about impossible, in 2001. That’s possibly why his wife’s phone didn’t work.

Please click the internal links. Cell Phones were used on airliners (even at higher altitudes) before 2001. There are a variety of factors that would determine connectivity, the quality, and length of. But, making calls from cell phones at varying altitudes was most definitely happening before Sept. 11, 2001.

“Cellular experts privately admit that they’re surprised the calls were able to be placed from the hijacked planes, and that they lasted as long as they did. They speculate that the only reason that the calls went through in the first place is that the aircraft were flying so close to the ground.”
From the FBI, the calls were placed at around 30,000 to 35,000 feet.
I’m sorry to sound like a conspiracy nut but when a lot of things happen that have a very low probability of happening, I’m suspicious. Its like one of my ‘D’ students suddenly getting all A’s. Magic???

The guy claims he spoke to his wife, yet FBI records show she never got through. Do Solicitor General’s do stuff like that, lying and such? Oh wait, a lawyer appointed by Clinton (I think). Of course…

Was the FBI recording his phonecalls?
Show me the records. Not a conspiracy site but the actual records.
