In regards to Flight 93 being shot down -
If the plane was shot down, wouldn't there be a very large amount of debris that was over a very large area? Also, wouldn't the eye witnesses hear the jet/missle/explosion/the other explosion of everything hitting the ground?

Why not ask his Mother?
Hoglan: Once in a while he would say that. He would call up, and he was, he was a young businessman, and used to, used to introduce himself on phone as Mark Bingham, and he was trying to be, uh, strong, and level-headed, and, and strictly business. "Mom, this is Mark Bingham".

In response to airlines not allowing you to use your cell phones, it is pretty simple. They do not want your radio frequency accidently interfering with their frequencies. Receiving calls is not the problem it is when you make the call and you are sending signals out. Those signals can cross each other. If you interfered with the planes radio transmissions you could have all kinds of problems.

Run this by a shrink (or a detective) and ask how many signs of deception are in this single quote... If this lady plays poker I would love to sit down and take all her loot.
1. Overly explaining the answer.
2. Unnecessary repetition.
3. "...And he was, and he was, and, and".. stumbling, trying to make remember the lie.
I call BS.

If you can deduce from 15 seconds on screen what her normal speaking style and mannerisms (being interviewed on camera no less) are, and that what you are seeing is a departure from them, you should be playing poker.

Ok,mr. iattackpeople. I followed your link and it didnt tell me anything. It was a discovery channel promo for the movie about flight 93. And there was no proof that his mother said that.
Not neccesarily, one of the wings, engines or the tail could have been damaged

They fabricated the calls using technology from this article. The technology was developed at Los Alamos.
Feb. 1 1999 Washington Post article: When Seeing and Hearing Isn't Believing.
I was told in 1998 or 99 by a co-worker whose father worked for the phone company that the telephone companies record every call made and have them warehoused.

How long does it take a detective, judge, poker player or good shrink to deduce if someone is likely to by lying?
Actually, there is such a thing as a master clock - it's called an atomic clock and is coordinated to Greenwich Mean time. The airplane's clock and the phone company are most likely running on atomic time. Which means a discrepancy between the times IS pretty weird and suspect.
Yes, it is absolutely believable that Todd Beamer would talk to a customer service representative, instead of directly to his pregnant wife.
Beamer tried to place a credit card call through a phone located on the back of a plane seat but was routed to a customer-service representative instead, who passed him on to supervisor Lisa Jefferson
