I’m done after this, but nothing I’ve read ever claimed that flight had used them. And as I’ve said, the mobile phone calls would have been certainly possible.
You accept that airplanes can have radio contact with the ground as part of normal operation, but have trouble with the idea that the radios in mobile phones could work? (Yes they are lower power, but they’re just radios.)
I didn’t watch your video, but most of the “impossible” calls were from flipping GTE Airphones, not cell phones.
The calls that were actually made by cellular phones (near the end) would certainly have been possible.
(I was an RF engineer for a mobile phone company until I changed jobs this year)
I hesitate to post this, because… debating 9/11 conspiracy people on Less Wrong?!
At least we don’t have any “fundies” yet. ;)
As the video explains, it later came to light that flight 77 did not HAVE airphones.
