Listen to this 9/11 call from Flight 11. It was a stewardess named Betty Ong, and it went on for 8 minutes. Note that she got the flight number wrong. First she said it was flight 12, and later she changed it to flight 11. 

But first, let me point out several things to pay attention to. 

First, her whole tone isn't nearly as frantic as it should have been under the circumstances. She kept referring to all these people being stabbed. She used the word "stabbed" over and over and over. But, she never once said anything about the consequences. Were these people dead? Were they mortally wounded? Were they writhing in pain? Bleeding all over the place? What? It's very odd that she would do that, as if "stabbed" required no further explanation. 

What is equally imponderble is that the people listening wouldn't ask anything about the condition of those who were stabbed. Were they alive or dead? Were they getting any help? Was anyone critically stabbed? In severe danger or close to death?  Those seem like automatic questions to me, but they weren't asked. The whole tone of the conversation seems very subdued and more appropriate to a much lesser emergency, such as a person having a gall stone attack on the plane. 

She only indicated 2 hijackers, from seats 2A and 2B. She said they were inside the cockpit, but she provided no other information. Wouldn't she have seen them breaking into the cockpit? And since the pilots would have surely resisted, wouldn't she have heard, if not seen, the gargantuan battle between pilots and the hijackers? Wouldn't everyone have been aware of it? At one point, the woman on the ground suggested that the people in coach "might not be aware of what is going on". There was a fight to the death in the cockpit, and the passengers were not aware of it? 

Betty said the cockpit door would not open. Then, she must have tried it, right?  So, she went up to the door, right? If so, then what did she hear? She must have heard something. It's not that thick a door. If she had her ear to it, she had to hear what was going on inside. 

How could she not say anything about the other staff? She said she was the #3 flight attendant. So, where were the #1 and #2? How could she not say, and how could they not ask? 

And if she stopped responding supposedly because the plane crashed into the Tower, why didn't we hear anything? She didn't hang up, did she? So, why wasn't the noise from the impact heard? 

Alright, now listen to it. Something is wrong with this; it does not add up.
