Strange Phone Call on UA Flight 175
There are a lot of strange tidbits in the 9/11 commission report, things that almost seem like little planted clues by one of the authors of the report-- who couldn't say anything more explicit.

One of these was the discussion quoted in the report between the FAA and NEADS where NEADS asks if this is "real-world or exercise?"

What a strange thing to put into the report when there is no mention otherwise of the hijacking exercise that was being run on 9/11!

Another interesting tidbit I found was the phone call from Peter Hanson to his father Lee quoted in the report. Peter Hanson was on flight 175. This call STARTED at 9:00am, RIGHT BEFORE Flight 175 rammed into the south tower.

Here is the excerpt of the call quoted verbatim from the report (this is actually the second call Peter Hanson made to his father):

"It's getting bad, Dad-- a stewardess was stabbed-- they seem to have knives and mace-- they said they have a bomb-- it's getting very bad on the plane-- passengers are throwing up and getting sick-- the plane is making jerky movements-- I don't think the pilot is flying the plane-- I think we are going down-- I think they intend to go to Chicago or someplace and fly into a building-- don't worry, Dad -- if it happens, it'll be very fast-- my God, my God"



To me, there are a few curious aspects to this call.

1) flight 175 took a path southwest initally then made a huge turn 180 degrees to go northeast towards manhattan about ten minutes before the call. It is almost incomprehensible that at the time the call was made, that it wasn't fairly obvious that the plane WASN'T headed to Chicago-- that the plane was headed AWAY from Chicago. It is also odd that he makes this statement about Chicago AFTER he says the plane is going DOWN.

2) Importantly, how would Peter Hanson find out what the hijackers' plans were? Surely the hijackers didn't announce that they were going to Chicago to fly the plane into a building. This is just very odd that he gives this information.

3) What event inspires the "my God, my God"? Surely he can't see the plane is about to hit the tower, since he can't see straight ahead from the passenger compartment. It's also hard to see that he would be saying anything if they were actually impacting the building.

4) Probably the most interesting thing about the Chicago remark is because of the note from Delmart Vreeland predicting the 9/11 attacks. He listed the Sears Tower and the Navy Pier-- two prominent Chicago landmarks-- as targets (he also listed the WTC and Pentagon as targets). To me, this is too much of a coincidence. Were targets in Chicago chosen initially for the 9/11 attacks and then later changed? But why would Peter Hanson know this?

All in all, the call is very curious.

1. Strange
Yes, I agree. Especially that a passenger could have thought of something that no passenger would have ever thought of (contrary to the government): the possibility to crash a plane into the building.

2. Exactly. But also-- why Chicago?
and why didn't he realize that they had just made a huge turn AWAY from Chicago?
