1) What happened to the passengers aboard the flights?
2) If the government was going to plan an attack on itself, how come they chose explosives in the buildings? It just seems to obvious.
3) Washington D.C. is a pretty crowded place, tourists and such, how come the government would lie about the type of plane that hit the pentagon, I mean at least 15 people HAD to have seen something?
4) Was the point of 9-11 to win support for the war in Afghanstan or in Iraq? and WHY?
The answer is that it was a real event and the discrepancies shown are phenomena you would expect out of real events.

They died in the attacks.
Plane maker Airbus reported progress in plans to enable passengers to use mobile phones in flight, beginning in 2006. Test equipment aboard an Airbus A320 plane demonstrated that mobile phones can be used without interfering with navigation systems, according to Airbus.
While reading the local paper this morning, I stumbled on an item about Airbus prepairing their planes for cell-phone use in flight. While reading this, suddenly the phone-calls from the passangers of the hijacked planes on 9-11 came to mind. I would link the story, but it's in dutch. I have however found another item in English after a quick google.
As far as the altitude - OH YEAH..... you'll get better reception in a plane than you will anywhere else. Unobstructed Line of Sight (LOS for future refference), as well as the ability to catch reverberations off of the Ionosphere. Most commercial jets never reach farther than 8 miles above ground level. That's well within the range of a tower.
I'd like to share a song.

This function of cellphones was disabled years ago by covering the antennas so that the signal could not be picked up by someone in an airplane. The reason was that from an airplane one cellphone signal could tie up many cells at the same time which disabled them for use by someone else.

The drug trade soared 2500%? Any chance of a link to this information?
The Taliban banned opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan in late 1997.
By February 2001, production had reduced by 98%.
Following the fall of the Taliban regime, the areas controlled by the Northern Alliance resumed opium production and by 2004 production was 87% of the world's opium supply.
Poppy production hit a record high since the fall of the Taliban government.
