Finally the media is addressing the silence of over two hundred passengers and their cell phones. A CNN expert suggested that the plane was too high for the towers to reach the phones. If that’s true, then why is the FAA considering the issue of allowing use of cell phones in flight? In response to people recalling the plane that went down in Pa. and last minute communications, he stated that those calls were made via “air phones” on the back of the seats that required the caller to swipe a credit card before calling. Really? Wasn’t that plane low enough for cell phones to pick up tower signals? And yesterday another expert stated the plane was flying low in an attempt to avoid being detected by radar. If just one of the passengers were alive, wouldn’t he have called someone? To the untrained ear, the inconsistency in reporting smacks of cover-up and subverts any confidence in the media. To date, there are far more questions than answers, more doubts than reassurances.
