Synopsis
Flight 93 became the 9/11 heroic legend that inspired America and produced the Pentagon's 'Let's Roll' recruitment slogan for the Iraq invasion. The brave passenger revolt was the drama that powered its war effort. It has been the subject of three feature films, three bestselling books and numerous TV documentaries. But how much of the legend is truth, how much wishful thinking or even raw propaganda aimed at whipping up public support for war? Morgan asks key questions like: why didn't the air force intervene? This flight was the last of the 9/11 series and would have been on the radar in time; Confusion over the identity of the hijackers? Two named were later said to be still alive; the 9/11 Commission says phones were used, and Flight 93 passengers are said to have heard what happened to the other planes via cellphones - but cellphones don't work at normal altitude, so is this really possible? Are there two cockpit voice recordings? The relatives seem to have heard one version, the 9/11 commission another.
Review
Flight 93 reveals what really happened on the 9/11 "lets roll" flight.
In the book, a shocking eye opening account by Rowland Morgan argues that books like this and movies and all the media hype surrounding flight 93 are nothing less than war making propaganda to persuade America and the world that brutal and illegal attacks on Middle Eastern countries were justified in the name of the war on terror. Flight 93, has been well researched and documented and packed with vivid illustrations, it shows both the official and unofficial story and the Hollywood one are completely unproven and unsupported by any known facts.
Looking at it as the sixth anniversary approaches there has been a widespread move to question the Official Investigation. With this new book, Morgan makes an important contribution to the debate. Branded as misinformation, by the U.S. Government - it also sparked a strong reaction in the U.K. Brave passengers staged a revolt on board this plane in the chance that they could redirect the plane not to land on Washington.
Flight 93 is very well written and very factual. Many people received messages from this plane from their loved ones but then they were heard world wide bounced around the air ways by the press and media. I suggest that if you can read this book, you can make up your own mind as to what the outcome could have been if people had been more careful with the time and information given to them by senior officials.
