Yes please. That's what I've asked for. But fine, I'll ask again - how did the perpetrators carry out what Alfie shows above? A guess is fine.
Your analogy, as far as I can work it out is (as I wrote above)
Because I cannot explain how the pyramids were built (and yet they clearly exist) then other things for which there is no plausible explanation can also exist.
First, we can see that the pyramids exist. I've visited them. So we know that they were built somehow.
We do not know for a fact that the 9/11 phone calls were faked. Because they ("fake 9/11 calls") are not a physical object that we can clearly and irrefutably experience, then the fact of their absolute existence cannot be accorded the same empirical weight as "The Pyramids".
It's thus eminently reasonable to ask questions of how - if they were fake - they might realistically have been carried out. And when the answer to that question is "I don't know" (your response) or "it's almost impossible" (mine) then we can fairly surmise that they probably didn't occur. The impossibility of them happening trumps the sketchy physical evidence and hearsay on which that you base your faith in their fakeness.
In essence you're claiming that because the calls are definitely fake then the impossible could have happened to make this so. I prefer a more level-headed attitude to evidence.

Man, you are the king of misdirection. There is no reason for this thread to still be here. Multiple people have posted facts that are backed up with real information.
For any of you to state that there was no way to make an air call in 2001 you are either too young or mentally challenged. I am trying to be politically correct here and not call you bat# crazy.
I asked this eariler and no one said anything. How did executives make calls from planes during this time? Was there no technology there? It has been around since the 1980's.
Maybe this can help.
en.wikipedia.org...
I remember air phones travelling in business or first class pre 9/11 so I know for a FACT they were there. I saw it, with my own eyes, a phone in a seat. It was not new technology in 2001.
You are confusing plane/ground communication with cell communication of which there were only TWO known cell calls on 93 minutes before crashing which in diagrams show place them under the 9k limit of FCC restriction of cell use on planes. This is common sense.
The biggest thing that should be looked at is the incompetence of the FAA and why it took so long to let the military know.

Perhaps you could let me have the names of the relatives who received the calls who think they were duped ?

Oh, as far are YOU can work it out. Please forgive me for scoffing at your lack of substance. I did not realize that you were going to whip out the all too valuable 'The way I see it' argument.
Wow. Well that was a nice try. You sure did use lots of words and stuff. I am sorry that it is still wrong and my analogy stands just fine in the face of what you worked out.

I notice that impressme has at least attempted a guess at how such seemingly impossible feats were accomplished.
The victims who were called were paid by the government to pretend that they had lost loved ones, who didn't exist in the first place.
Do you ascribe to this notion Lily?
Airfone is a brand of air-ground radiotelephone service offered by Verizon. Airfone allows passengers to make telephone calls in-flight. It was originated by John D. Goeken (who also founded MCI Communications and FTD) in the 1970s. Western Union purchased a fifty percent share in Airfone in 1981 and sold to GTE in 1986 for $39 million cash[1]. Delta Air Lines offered the United States's first public air-to-ground telephone system with Airfone.

Family of those passengers that day recieved calls from loved ones. I would love for one of you to face to face tell them that their child/husband/brother/wife/sister is still alive and see the reaction you get.

Actually, many of the survivors and families after 9/11 refused the money and wanted answers. Alot of those people were those who lost loved ones on 93.

You've ducked it again. Are you going to respond to what I've written or just keep squirming?
Go on, have a guess. Or you can just tell me that you agree with impressme.
And by the way, it seems highly unlikely that you've already addressed this specifically given that impressme's extraordinary remarks come after anything you've written.

You said that such knowledge would only be held by the perpetrators, but that you were willing to provide a guess.
So far you have failed to do so. But once more: do go ahead.

OK, apparently you are a very special person. Different sentences in different posts seems to be a little hard for you to work out. Responding to me in different threads and then denying it in another is a neat trick as well.
Let me shut you up.
Blockbuster and the student loan people have had no problem finding out where I work and who I am related to. They were doing this pre-9/11 with some ease. I would have to guess that the Pentagon can do the same but maybe even a little faster.
I also stated that it was pretty easy to fool a loved one. Many of us have heard "Why doesn't it sound like you" and none of us had the advantage of being on a hijacked airplane at the time.
There are my guesses...again.
If you need anything more specific, I asked 3 times now for that. Now you can get over your little crusade.
So far as faking voices goes you might be interested in seeing these comments from Dr George Papcun, father of voice morphology :-
Linda Gronlund called her sister from UA93 and left a message. At the end she told her sister where her will was in a safe in a closet and gave the combination.

We are not interested in seeing someone comments that is his or her opinions, that you are despreatly pushing as facts.
Perhaps, someone opinions are facts to you, but you are not speaking for the rest of the world.

Really? Who is Linda Gronlund sister? Dose anyone have this woman name?
I would love to see this sister phone bill? You are only parroting a story nothing more.
