United 93 hit the theaters amid widespread concern that nobody was prepared to see it; the potential for a flop was huge. This seems rather surprising in light of the fact that an A&E TV-movie on the subject received huge ratings, enough that A&E even repeated the movie several times rather than running yet another episode of Law & Order. Perhaps the concern over whether people wanted to pay money to expose themselves to a particularly emotional recreation of recent history was meant to deflect attention away form the fact that it was calling itself a true story when, in fact, the events that took place on board that plane still remain shrouded in mystery and contradiction and-dare we use the word-conspiracy?This article is not-repeat, NOT-designed to endorse any of the challenges to the official story. I will state flatly that I simply have not done the research necessary to come to a final conclusion on whether the attacks made against the legend of Flight 93 are verifiable. Rather, my intention is merely to draw the attention of the potential United 93 audience to some of the questions that have been raised about the conventional wisdom surrounding the events that took place aboard the plane.

THE CELL PHONE CALLS
How many times have you ever had your call dropped while driving on the interstate on or in rural area? My service provider is ALLTEL and I get dropped calls at least a few times a week. The legend of United 93 basically stems from the series of phone calls made by passengers to loved ones. Most of what we think we know about what took place aboard that plane is based on those conversations.
