Olsen,Ted

From 911Encyclopedia:

Ted Olson reportedly contacted CNN (less than 12 hours after the alleged crash in which his wife perished), to tell them about the "phone call" from his wife Barbara Olsen. Mr. Olson was not personally quoted in the news accounts of the alleged phone call. From an independent analysis: "What's even more curious is that Mr. Olson is said to have told CNN that his wife made the call from a phone attached to the back of a seat on the aircraft. She supposedly used that phone because she didn't have her cell phone, because it was in her purse, and she didn't have her purse with her, in the back of the aircraft (which is where she supposedly was, along with everyone else on board FL 77, except for the terrorist(s) "flying the B757). The phone she is said to have used, would have required a credit card to be swiped to make the phone operable. Thus, she would have had to borrow someone else's credit card in order to make a phone call. Ted supposedly told CNN that she called him collect. However; once a credit card is swiped, you can begin using the phone to make calls. So, no collect call would have been made. If there are records reflecting a call to the Justice Department (where Ted was on the morning of 9-11), and a charge on a credit card for use of a phone aboard FL 77, that would be strong evidence that the "call" story is true. If no such phone call was made, then much of the official story line about 9-11 events is subject to even more doubt."

Due to AA, this is how the telephone system works on their planes: "To Place a Call: Slide your credit card through the side of the phone and then dial 00 + country code + area or city code + number followed by the # key. Rates for satellite calls are $5.00 to connect and $10.00 per minute. Billing begins when a call is answered. Partial minutes are rounded up and billed as a full minute. " https://www.aa.com/content/travelInformation/duringFlight/onboardTechnology.jhtml Dan Hawkes, head of avionics at the AA's Safety Regulation Group, says, "A cell phone emits more power the further it is from base station. So as an aircraft climbs, the mobile signal increases in power, boosting the interference level at a critical time in flight." http://198.65.147.194/English/Science/2000/7/article1.shtml Nokia, for example, has this warning in its user manual, which accompanies all cell-phone purchases: "Switch off on aircraft. Do not use phones on airplanes as this can cause interference with the navigational equipment. Also, the use of phones on airplanes is illegal." http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,41276,00.html Compare: Professor A.K. Dewdney, author of "Ghost Riders in the Sky"" http://feralnews.com/issues/911/dewdney/project_achilles_report_2_030225.html On Tuesday 25th February 2003, Dewdney chartered a light plane and flew up into the airspace above London Ontario an area extensively serviced with cellphone stations. His goal was to test the essential feasibility of the claim that cellphone calls could have been made from planes at high altitude. http://www.msnbc.com/news/635771.asp http://homepage.ntlworld.com/steveseymour/lies911/lies.htm http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/09/11/pentagon.olson/ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/family/main.jhtml?xml=/family/2002/03/05/folsen05.xml
