I just read a newspaper article by Gail Sheehy that had me so transfixed I forgot where I was. It was so gripping, I kept wanting to jump ahead to see what would happen next. If you think you’ve read all you ever need to about Septemeber 11th and what went on in those planes as they raced to their doom, you have to go read this article. I can guarantee, you will feel almost as though you were on-board those flights.
This article raises some terrible questions about the current investigation of the tragedy. Can we really allow politics to stand in the way of understanding something as monumental as 911? Can people really be suppressing such vital information as flight attendant Amy Sweeney’s incredible phone calls to American Airlines? If so, why?
Some of the discrepancies and holes in the story of what happened on September 11 are astonishing. I have not yet read an article that so convincingly illustrates how far the government is going to cover up aspects of what went on that day, mainly to protect its own. Absolutely, totally a must-read. Don’t wait.

Of course, the Bush apologists will simply conflate these very real and valid concerns with the various stupid conspiracy theories that have been floating around.
Besides, what happened in 2001 isn’t nearly as newsworthy as what John Kerry did with Jane Fonda in 1973!

This is incredible. Why haven’t we heard about Sweeney’s phone calls before? How much more of this story do we not know?

Why haven’t you heard about it?
Gee, I dunno.
Google it.
Sheehy did not blow the lid off of this one.

Ptitza, here in Asia this story has received little or no play, at least not the story as Sheehy tells it. I, too, never heard of Amy Sweeney prior to reading this article.

Richard, I understand. I think I need to be a little clearer- Gail Sheehy is in the United States and while *you* may not have heard about Amy Sweeney, Sheehy can claim no such thing. She was the one who was initially saying “oh gosh, why haven’t I heard of Amy Sweeney? It must be a big conspiracy!!!”
She has access to a lot of things you don’t, I’m guessing, in terms of resources of American media. It would have been 30 seconds work for her to find the articles and media pieces on Sweeney. I didn’t mean to imply that it was your job. I’m just disgusted by her lack of drive to get the real story, being so blinded by the drive to get the story she wanted to write.
Again, I didn’t mean any offense to you at all. She’s the one who didn’t do her homework.

Amy Sweeney’s story came out shortly after that tragic day so there really is nothing that no one ever heard before. Amy made a call to her friend Mike at Boston base but their conversation was not recorded. Mike was taking notes while he was speaking with Amy on the phone.
