For starters, the cell phone calls were in fact quote possible. First of all, many calls were made by the seatback airphones. And for the ones that weren't, but were indeed made by cell phones, nothing about 600 MPH prevents a cell tower from getting a signal from one of those. And there is a plethora of proof that calls from altitude are possible; in fact, they've been made before, frequently.

You also ignore that, for many of the calls, the jets the victims called from was at low altitude. For example, Barbara Olson's call was made at 9:29am, a time when Fl77 was only at 7,000 feet.
A while back I tried it myself during a 40 minute flight from Berlin to Amsterdam. I do not think we were even near 15.000 feet. No provider appeared on my display. And that was 2006.
Here is the
test report done by prof. A.K. Dewdney in a Cessna 4 seater aircraft from 2003 over the skies of London/Ontario/Canada, in 2004 repeated in a larger aircraft, financed by a Japanese film crew.
Quote from the article: "It should be remarked that not only is the cellphone technological base in Canada identical to its US counterpart, but Canadian communication technology is second to none, Canada being a world-leader in research and development.". Do I hear any protests?
Mind you, this aircraft had minimal Faraday Cage effects in contrast with regular passenger aircraft.
Problems making connections started past 6000 feet. Mind you in small aircraft circling above the ground station low speed with no Faraday Cage effect.
Your debunker article refers to exactly this research. Obviously your article does not refer to any positive research that calls from airliners are in fact possible. There is no research. On top of that, I am a very frequent flyer (over Europe) but I never ever experienced that somebodies phone went off in mid air during a flight, which cannot be said from theater's of cinema's where one is also explicitly asked to switch the thing off.
Here is a recent video (july 2007) of prof. A.K. Dewdney where he is reporting on behalf of a conference on said research on the possibility of making cell phone calls from aircraft. He can no longer attend this kind of conference in person. As a consequence of his earlier 2003/2004 research he is now put on a no-fly list by the same government you are all so vigorously defending here. He is a 'terrorist suspect' now.
He explains how cell phone's work in combination with ground stations.
Prof. Dewdney's conclusion: in a normal passenger airliner the ability to make phone calls cuts off radically above 2000 feet. As an extra consideration: at low altitude's it is equally impossible to make phone calls due to the high speed of the passenger aircraft. By the time the cell phone and the ground station have established a connection via a handshake procedure, the connection is cut off because the plane has moved into a new block.
The whole cell phone story (4 in flight175, 2 in flight77 and 8 in flight93) is based on a lie. Just as the rest of the OCT. The fake calls were necessary to plant the Arabs-did-it story in the public consciousness.
In the mean time on the ground in the US
- Wallstreet gets a bailout of 700 billion
- Detroit does not get a bailout of 15 Billion (America has just sacrificed its automobile industry, GM is preparing for bankruptcy). Detroit was once dubbed as the 'Paris of the Americas'. What shall we call it today: Brazzaville?
Why do you guys think that is? what's the difference between Wallstreet and Detroit? Anybody?
-
Cost Iraq war, triggered by the 911/New Pearl Harbor, according to Nobel prize winner Steglitz: 3 trillion dollar. That is 10,000$ for every American, from baby to oldtimer. Not angry yet?
Just to top it off, today a Wallstreet crook named Bernard Madoff (unnecessary to do research background on him) was arrested for a fraud to the tune of 50 billion $ (that's 3 Detroit bailouts). Not angry yet?
Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning.
