Except that, Florida was not under martial law. You might want to do some honest research and when you do, you will discover that Governor Bush had basically re-issued executive orders for the Florida National Guard to do its job....
Of course, if you would like to read the full text of his Executive Orders, you can find it here...
And you really should go to your local library and start digging through archieved issues of various news magazines from before 9/11 for more info about KSH.

not exactly sure what you mean by that. what im trying to understand is the mindset of a handful of men that had a decision based on life or death. and im not sure how much time they had to react. the flight was off course for 30 plus minutes i think. at what point did the "calls" from wichever phone, come into play and how much time after. its very hard to take into consideration what a collective mindset is, or if it became a "mob" mentality. rest assured, all bets are off in a life or death situation, and 10 or so guys in my mind can take down 3 inadequately armed men in close quarters. let me know if im off with any of my guesses for time frame. i know that looking at my statements would lead you to think, "i know what happened, let me tell you..." but im very, very far from that. im trying to come to a conclusion of my own. im trying to learn, and by no way trying to cahange anyones mind gere. i want to study this tragedy, make my conclusion and keep it to myself.

Another thing to consider when takling about cell phone reception is the hijacked planes were flying at lower altitudes than they would be on a cross country flight.
The higher you are the less chance of connecting on a cell phone... the opposite applies as well.. lower=better..
There were reports of Flight 93 landing at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport due to "concerns that it may have a bomb aboard."
This article will prove that not one, but two planes made an emergency landing in Cleveland - in close succession. The proof is based on local newspaper and radio reports from September 11th and 12th (mainly from the Akron Beacon Journal and the Cleveland Plain Dealer), statements of eyewitnesses and internet postings in the morning of 9/11 (people were listening to the radio and immediately submitted the breaking news to the net). One of the flights was indeed Delta 1989. We don't know the identity of the other one, so we call it "Flight X"...

Not really, In his fist statement, he said that his organization was "pure- like a white linen sheet" ( i.e. just in their cause) He was basically surprised at how aggressive the US was in retaliation. ( I suppose he thought we would cower like Spain did) he was almost pleading for negotiations, and playing the race/religion bias card.. by saying if it were the IRA that had done this the US would enter in diplomacy, but since they are Arabic/muslim the true angry face of the crusader was shown.

"I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children and other people. Such a practice is forbidden even in the course of a battle.
"It is the United States, which is perpetrating every maltreatment on women, children and common people . . . "
"Whoever committed the act of 11 September are not the friends of the American people. I have already said that we are against the American system, not against its people, whereas in these attacks, the common American people have been killed."
"In the same way, whether it is President Bush or any other U.S. President, they cannot bring Israel to justice for its human rights abuses or to hold it accountable for such crimes. What is this? Is it not that there exists a government within the government in the United States? That secret government must be asked as to who carried out the attacks."

The alleged cell phone calls from Todd Beamer continued long after Flight 93 had crashed. More evidence of cell phone fakery or calls made from the ground. Cee Cee Lyles cell phone calls to her husband (he recognized her cell phone #) were apparently made from high altitude at cruising speed. More likely from the ground at Cleveland.

Spreston,
How many calls were made from cell phones on flight 93?

you are mistaken...again...as usual.
Cee Cee's husband states that it is "close to 10 o'clock." This was when he answered the phone. How could they be in Cleveland at 10? Flight 93 was still in the air...The call was placed by her on her cell phone at 9:58. Flight 93's altitude was approximatley 5 thousand feet. NOT at a high altitude as you claim.
