Director of Technical Operations for GTE 'Airfone. 2809 Butterfield Rd.,
Oak Brook, IL, telephone I
I was advised of the identity of
the interviewing agent and the purpose of the interview. COMBS then
provided the following information:
Customer service representative PHYLLIS JOHNSON took an
airphone call this morning from TODD BEAMER, aboard United Airlines
Flight 93. The call was then turned over to her supervisor, LISA
JEFFERSON. Both JOHNSON and JEFFERSON took notes of their
conversations, which were turned over to the interviewing agent.
JEFFERSON also typed out .a summary of the events, which was turned over
to the interviewing agent. During one of the BEAMER conversations,
JEFFERSON performed a "print screen" to document BEAMER1S credit card
number.' This printout was also turned over to the interviewing agent.
COMBS and MARK RUGG, .the manager of Network Operations, put
together spreadsheets containing all the cellular calls made from
United Airlines (UA) flights 93 and 175 on today's date. The
information was derived from GTE ACIS, their billing system. They
first compiled all the calls originating from UA 757s. The calls from
the flights in question were then extracted and listed separately on
the spreadsheets.
Each call is listed on a seperate row. The information on
the second and third pages relates to the corresponding call on the
first page.. The times listed under the page one column
"CALL_DIAL_TIME" are believed to be noted in the time zone of the
originating caller, eastern standard time. The telephone numbers
dialed from the airphone are noted under the page one columns
"COUNTRY_DIAL_NUM", "NPA_CITY_CODE", "NNX", and "PHONE LINE." The page
one column "CUSTOMER_ROLE_BIL" denotes the method of payment for the
call. IF that column shows the word "CARD," the corresponding credit
card is listed eight columns to the right, under the heading
"SCP_CARD_ID." The page one column CCS.NAME11CHR(95)11CCS.NA denotes
the callers' name if that person is already in their billing system.
Under the page one column "ANSWER_STATUS", the number 0 indicates no
answer and the number 1 indicates the call was answered. Under the

page one column heading "TERMINATION TYPE," the number 0 indicates a
normal termination and the number 1 indicates an abnormal termination.
An abnormal termination could be caused by a loss of signal, a sharp
turn by the airplane, or the airplane moving out of range. Under the
page one column heading "TERMINATION_DIRECTION", the number 0 indicates
the call was terminated in the air and the number 1 indicates the call
was terminated on the ground.
Under the page two column heading "TERMINATION_REASON_CODE_",
the number 0 indicates a normal termination. The number 22 indicates
invalid data, while the number 24 indicates the credit card was denied.
Under the page two column "LANGUAGE_IND", the number 1 indicates the
call was in English. The page two column "DISTRIBUTIONJUNIT" is short
for cabin distribution unit (CDU). Most 757s have two CDUs per
airplane. Usually the CDUs are located in the rear of the airplane.
Each airphone handset is connected to one of the CDUs. The page-two
column heading "TERMINAL_UNIT" represents the particular unit number
assigned to each airphone. The lower the number, the farther the unit
is physically located from the CDU. The page two column heading "CITY"
lists the cellsite location from which the call originated. The page
two column heading "NUM_OF_HANDOFFS" notes the number of times a call
was transferred to a different cellsite.
The page three column heading "SCP_DURATION" denotes the
length of the call in seconds.
COMBS provided a paper copy of each spreadsheet to the
interviewing agent, as well as a copy on a 3.5 inch diskette under

Representative, 2809 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, Illinois,
phone number |
\s interviewed teleohonicallv I
J After'being advised of the agent's identity and the
nature of the interview, JEFFERSON provided the following
information:
JEFFERSON received a phone call at approximately 8:45 a.m.
Central time, September 11, 2001 from an individual aboard a
commercial airliner. The caller identified himself as TODD BEAMER of
Cranberry, New Jersey, a passenger aboard United Airlines (UAL)
Flight 93 to San Francisco, departing at 8:00 a.m. Eastern time and
landing 11:14 a.m. Pacific time. BEAMER called to state that the
airplane was about to be highjacked. He stated that three
individuals, two wielding knives, the third with a bomb strapped to
his waist with a red belt, were preparing to take control of the
flight.
JEFFERSON estimated that she spoke to BEAMER for seven
minutes before the two highjackers armed with knives entered the
cockpit, securing the door behind them. The third highjacker with
the bomb remained in the main cabin with the passengers after closing
the privacy curtain between First Class and Economy Class. BEAMER
stated that after a short period, the aircraft maneuvered erratically
and continued to do so. He stated that the aircraft was turning
around. JEFFERSON noted that the call had an unusually low amount of
background noise.
JEFFERSON continued her conversation with BEAMER for
another eight minutes. During this time she could hear screams,
prayers, exclamations, and talk of subduing the highjackers. At no
time did she hear any discernable language -other than English. At
approximately 9:00 a.m. Central time, BEAMER said that the passengers
were about to attack the highjackers.

Her last exchange with BEAMER, in which he asked JEFFERSON
to call his pregnant wife, Lisa, and his two boys, David and Andrew,
to tell them that he loved them, occurred at 9:00 a.m. Central time.
Next, JEFFERSON heard another passenger give the go-ahead to make
their move. After that point, she heard nothing. She kept the
connection open for another twenty minutes without hearing anything,
at which time she disconnected the call. During the call, tracking
equipment indicated that the call was being serviced by a Pittsburgh
transceiver, indicating that the aircraft was in that service area.
Approximately five minutes later, JEFFERSON received a
call from MARSHALL LNU of Verizon Quality Control for residential
service. MARSHALL indicated that a passenger, JEREMY LNU, aboard UAL
93 was currently phoning his in-laws via an airphone. The in-laws
contacted Verizon while remaining in contact with JEREMY. For some
reason, Verizon contacted GTE Airphone during this call with JEREMY'S
in-laws. JEFFERSON could not hear JEREMY via this chain of calls.
JEFFERSON received information second hand about the conversation
between JEREMY and his in-laws via the Verizon employee. JEFFERSON
estimates that this call came at 9:30 a.m. Central time.
Conversation with Verizon continued until approximately 9:43 a.m. at
which time the connection with the airphone ended.

\ A
agents and nature of the interview she provided the following
information:
Starting at approximately 6:30 a.m. (PST) BURNETT received
a series of three to five cellular phone calls from her husband,
THOMAS EDWARD BURNETT, JR. THOMAS BURNETT was talking quietly and
told his wife that the flight he was on had been hijacked. He
advised her he was on United Airlines flight 93 from Newark, New
Jersey to San Francisco, California. THOMAS BURNETT instructed his
wife to call the authorities and advise them that the plane had been
hijacked. The hijackers claimed to have a bomb. He also told his
wife that a passenger had been knifed.
Approximately ten minutes later DEENA BURNETT received
another call from her husband, THOMAS BURNETT. THOMAS BURNETT was
speaking in a quiet voice and asked his wife if she had heard about
any other planes. DEENA BURNETT advised her husband that two planes
had flown into the World Trade Center. THOMAS BURNETT asked if they
were commercial planes. DEENA BURNETT responded that the planes were
unidentified at the time. DEENA BURNETT stated it seemed that her
husband knew other flights had crashed into the World Trade Center,
although this was never specifically brought up. THOMAS BURNETT
mentioned during this conversation that the hijackers were talking
about flying the plane into the ground, location not specified.
Approximately five minutes later she received another cell
phone call from her husband. BURNETT was able to determine that her
husband was using his own cellular telephone because the caller
identification showed his number, (925) 980-3360. Only one of the
calls did not show on the caller identification as she was on the
line with another call. THOMAS BURNETT advised his wife in this call
that the passenger that had been knifed had died. He told her "they"
were in the cockpit. She asked her husband to sit still. THOMAS

BURNETT asked his wife, who previously worked in the airline
industry, what was the probability of a bomb being on board the
plane. DEENA did not respond and THOMAS BURNETT stated he did not
think they had a bomb because he did not see one; only knives.
THOMAS BURNETT then told his wife "we are turning toward the World
Trade Center, no we are turning away." BURNETT then told his wife "]
have to go" and hung up the phone.
During the last call to his wife BURNETT told her "a group
of us are getting ready to do something" and he may not speak to her
again.
DEENA BURNETT advised that her husband, other than
referring to the hijackers in the plural, never provided any
descriptive data regarding the hijackers. She never noted any
background noise other than what one would normally expect on an
airplane. DEENA BURNETT noted that her husband usually flew first
class.
In closing she noted that her husband was a former college
football player and very intelligent. If he concluded he was going
to die he would not sit there, he would take action.
THOMAS EDWARD BURNETT, date of birth May 29, 1963, was the
Chief Operating Officer for Thoratec Corporation, 6035 Stoneridge

On September 11, 2001, LAUREN GRANDCOLAS (LAUREN), the
wife of JACK GRANDCOLAS (JACK), was originally scheduled to fly on a
United Airlines flight leaving Newark, New Jersey at 9:20 a.m.
Eastern Standard Time to San Francisco, California.
JACK indicated
that his wife called him at his residence on two occasions during the
morning of September 11, 2001, and left messages on the answering
machine, which were stored digitally. JACK did not take the calls
personally because he was asleep at his residence. JACK said that he
would play the messages for the Agents; however, the messages were so
personal in their substance that he was extremely concerned about his
own and his in-laws' privacy and did not want the recordings to be
made public. JACK played the two conversations.
The first message was left at approximately 4:30 a.m.,
Pacific Standard Time prior to boarding United Airline (UA) Flight
93. LAUREN'S message was that she arrived at the airport earlier
than expected and was able to get on UA Flight 93, enabling her to
return to San Francisco early.
The second message was left on the answering machine at
approximately 6:00 a.m., Pacific Standard Time. JACK indicated that
LAUREN owned a cellular telephone but he was not sure which cellular
telephone she was using. LAUREN'S message indicated that there were
problems on the flight (Flight 93) but she reassured him that
everything was alright. Her voice was very calm and there were no
audible background noises. LAUREN told JACK numerous times in the
message that she loved him. LAUREN also told JACK to advise her
family that she loved them. LAUREN then told JACK goodbye and the

In LAUREN'S second message, there was no mention of a
hijacking, any descriptive information about the hijackers or weapons
used.
JACK said that he wanted to help the investigation but at
this time he did not want the FBI to record the.digital messages
because he wanted to talk to LAUREN'S relatives concerning privacy
issues. JACK mentioned that he would record the messages to preserve
them if and when he decided to turn them over to the authorities.

] at his residence... After being advised...af the identities of

provided the following information concerning his telephone
conversation wit.h his now deceased wife while aboard United Flight 93.
BRADSHAW ady.ised that on September 11, 2001, his wife, SANDRA
BRADSHAW, was ab.oard United Flight 93 as a stewardess. Between the
time of 9:30a.m. to 10:00 a.m., BRADSHAW received a telephone call
.from her at their residence in Greensboro, North Carolina. SANDRA
.BRADSHAW asked her husband if he was aware of what was going on.
BRADSHAW responded he was watching television and was aware. SANDRA
BRADSHAW then advised her airplane had also been hijacked.

SANDRA BRADSHAW informed her husband that three hijackers
were on the airplane. All were sitting at the front of the plane and
.possessed knives. SANDRA was able to observe one of the hijackers who
was sitting at the back of first class. She observed this individual
from behind and described him as being a little guy with light dark
skin, who looked Islamic. SANDRA also informed her husband the
hijackers had placed red bands on their heads and were at the front of
the airplane. BRADSHAW stated he took his wife's description of red
bands to mean red bandannas.
SANDRA and 27 passengers were at the back of the airplane
while she was calling her husband. During her call, SANDRA assumed the
airplane crew was still in the cockpit and in control, however, the
three hijackers were also at the front of the plane. SANDRA'S view was
obstructed by the first class curtain, which prevented her from clearly
seeing''all the hijackers. SANDRA informed her husband the passengers
at the back of the plane were discussing how to over power the three
hijackers. The suggestion was made to take scalding water from the
investigation on

informed her husband that everyone was running to first class and she
had to go. At this point SANDRA hung up and BRADSHAW never heard from
his wife again.
BRADSHAW believes SANDRA was calling him from a GTE telephone
which was mounted on the back of an airplane seat. The connection was
not good, and thus BRADSHAW could not hear any background conversations
or noise. Mostly, BRADSHAW heard air noise. BRADSHAW estimated the
call from SANDRA lasted five to ten minutes in length, and included
discussions between them about their family. During the conversation,
SANDRA also mentioned the plane had turned back and they were currently
located over a big river.
Following his conversation with his wife, BRADSHAW
immediately called United Airlines in Newark, New Jersey, and informed
them of his conversation with his wife. Later, BRADSHAW also spoke to
FBI Chicago Special Agent |
{.(phonetic).
BRADSHAW expressed a willingness to meet with the FBI again
if the need arose.

On 09/11/2001, at approximately 9:30 a.m., a telephone call
was received by Lyzbeth's mother, .JoAnne Makely/at Makely's Jewett, NY
residence, telephone I
I. from Lyzbe/th's husband, Jeremy
Logan Click, male, born 09/03/1970, from a telephone on-board United
Airlines Flight #93. ....Jeremy was supposed to have traveled on
09/10/2001; however, a fire at the Newark airport delayed his flight by
a day. Jeremy left his residence in Hewitt, NJ, on 09/11/2001 for
Newark International Airport to board Flight .#93 en route, non-stop, to
San Francisco, CA. Jeremy was presumably carrying only a small,
.wheeled, carry-on suitcase and a laptop compiiter on the flight. Jeremy
was employed as a sales manager by Vividencf, Inc., of San Mateo, CA,
(415) 305-6170, was en route to San Francispo for a meeting and was
scheduled to return on 09/12/2001.
During the call, Jeremy initially spoke to his mother-in-law,
JoAnne Makely and immediately asked to speak to his wife, Lyzbeth.
After giving the telephone to Lyzbeth, JoAnne Makely contacted "911"
via her cellular telephone I
I Jeremy first told Lyzbeth
that he loved her and then said that Flight #93 had been hijacked by
three "Iranian-looking" males, with dark skin and bandanas (ethnic type
as opposed to hippie type) on their heads. One of the males stated
that he was in possession of a bomb in a red box and one was armed with
a knife. Jeremy advised that the plane was approximately one hour out
of Newark and that they were over land, although it felt as if they
were circling instead of flying straight towards California. Jeremy
advised Lyzbeth that the hijackers had herded the passengers into the
rear of the plane and told them that if they did not crash into the
World Trade Center, that they were going to blow-up the plane. One of
, the hijackers then told the passengers to call their loved ones. The
three hijackers then entered the cockpit of the plane. Jeremy advised

that he was unsure if the hijackers were going to crash or blow-up the
plane.
The entire call lasted approximately fifteen to twenty
minutes. Lyzbeth could not hear any unusual sounds in the background
of the call and the connection was extremely clear, "as if he was
calling from the next room." Jeremy was extremely calm, but sounded
very concerned and confused. Jeremy advised that the Captain had not
made any announcements and that the people were scared because they did
not know what was happening.
Jeremy advised Lyzbeth that other passengers had contacted
their wives and husbands and asked if it were true that people were
crashing planes into the World Trade Center. Lyzbeth and her parents
had been watching news coverage of the events on the television and
were aware that at least one plane had crashed into the World Trade
Center, but neither of the Towers had fallen at the time of Jeremy's
call. Jeremy advised Lyzbeth that he and four other male passengers
were contemplating "rushing" the hijackers and asked Lyzbeth if that
was okay with her. Lyzbeth told Jeremy that she did not know if that
was okay and asked Jeremy if any of the hijackers had guns, to which
Jeremy replied they did not.
In a joking manner, as if ease Lyzbeth's concern, Jeremy
advised that he and approximately four other male passengers were
"going to get the butter knives." Jeremy then, seriously, told Lyzbeth
that he and the other males were organizing to "rush" the hijackers.
Jeremy told Lyzbeth that he loved her and asked her not to hang-up the
telephone.
Lyzbeth remained on the phone for a few minutes then handed
the telephone to her father, Richard Makely.

airplane that he had told her had been hijacked. Jeremy had just told
Lyzbeth that he and four other airplane passengers were going to
attempt to overtake the three hijackers, who were in the cockpit of the
airplane. When Makely got the telephone from Lyzbeth, he only heard
silence on the telephone, then three, four, or five minutes went by,
and there were high pitched screaming noises coming over the telephone,
that sounded like they were coming from a distance from the airplane
telephone. Makely described the noises as sounding similar to the
screams coming from individuals riding a roller coaster. There was
then several minutes of silence on the telephone. Then Makely heard a
series of high pitched screaming sounds again, followed by a noise
which he described as "wind sounds." The "wind sounds" were followed
by noises that sounded as though the airplane telephone was hitting a
hard surface several times or banging around. Then there was silence
on the telephone. During the screaming and other sounds that Makely
heard, a telephone operator from Horizon broke into the telephone call
and relayed the information to police officials. Makely was sure that
the operator was from Horizon, not Verizon, and that there was a tape
recording of the conversation. Makely and the telephone operator
stayed on the telephone for approximately 1 % hours, until
approximately 10:45a.m., but never heard any further noises on the
telephone. The telephone call was then terminated.

information:
He is currently employed as a Supervisor with the
Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, Department of Public Safety, at the
Westmoreland County 911 Center, and has been employed at the Department
of Public Safety for the past ten years.
On Tuesday, September 11, 2001, he was on duty at
approximately 9:58 a.m., along with telecommunications officer (TCO)
JOHN SHAW. At that time, individuals employed there were watching the
events surrounding the World Trade Center disaster on television.
At approximately 9:58 a.m., SHAW answered a call that came in
on Line 1103, which is a line at the Emergency Center for incoming cell
phone calls.
His attention was directed to the call answered by SHAW when
he heard SHAW state, "You are what hijacked?" At that point in time,
he immediately picked up on another phone at the Center referred to as
a "spy phone" at which time he heard a male caller who identified
himself as ED WART, cell phone number 732-241-6909, speaking. The
individual, who identified himself as WART, was talking in a low-tone
voice yet in listening to him his voice was one filled with terror.
The caller advised hysterically that he was locked in the
bathroom of United Flight #93, a 757 jet with lots of passengers, which
was en route to San Francisco from Newark. He heard the caller repeat
several times to TCO SHAW that the aircraft was being hijacked, that he

there was white smoke somewhere on the plane.
During the conversation he heard between the male caller and
SHAW, the male caller did not indicate whether he was located in the
front or rear bathroom of the aircraft nor did he say anything about
the number of hijackers on board the flight, their race, or their sex.
The caller made no statements regarding any weapons that the
hijacker(s) had in their possession and made no statement regarding any
bombs other than the fact that he had heard some sort of explosion
aboard the aircraft.
The cell phone call received from the individual, who
identified himself as ED WART, contained static but the phone call
itself was constant in that he (CRAMER) could hear it as it transpired.
Based on what he heard, he immediately got off of the phone
and advised the other supervisor present at the time, identified as ED

Other individuals located in the Emergency 911 Center were instructed
to notify the FAA and the FBI, and he notified RICHARD MADISON,

CATUZZI
mentioned that because his daughter's messages were so personal to

I' mentioned to CATUZZI that a San Francisco

JACK GRANDCOLAS told reporters that his wife's message on the
answering machine was as follows: "We have been hijacked, they are
being kind. I love you." CATUZZI stated that in the recent days
since LAUREN was killed in the airline accident, reporters had been
at JACK'S house in his front and back yard pestering him for a
comment. The press became so intrusive that the police had to be
called. Therefore, CATUZZI wrote a press release concerning LAUREN,
which JACK read to the press on September 12, 2001. CATUZZI stated
that in his press release there was no mention that LAUREN stated in
her message, "We have been hijacked." CATUZZI said that on the
answering machine message, LAUREN did not mention anything about a
hijacking, therefore, the reporter's story was inaccurate. The

''•••-... On September 11, 2001, at approximately 8:45 AM, Special
\t ( S A ) ' | I received a telephone call from ROBERT COMBS,
\d by GTE AIRFONE, 2809 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, Illinois.
\S thereafter provided the following information:
1
\S advised he was relaying information from GTE AIRFONE
;;
employee LISA JEFFERSON, who was currently talking to a passenger on
I
UNJTED AIRLINES (UA) Flight 93, which had left Newark, New Jersey at
I
8:0.0 AM and was traveling to San Francisco, California. This passenger
H
identified himself as TODD BEAMER, from Cranberry, New Jersey and he
I
told, JEFFERSON his flight had been hijacked by three Arab individuals.
I
Two 6.f the individuals were described by BEAMER as having knives, and
\\e third had a bomb strapped to him. BEAMER was apparently sitting
;;
H
next t0 a flight attendant, who was relaying information to BEAMER.
COMBS further advised that BEAMER stated the hijacker seemed to be
H
u
aware of, the fact that he was on the telephone, but that they did not
seem to care.
U
H
COMBS advised his office was trying to patch BEAMER's'phone
call to SA I
L but GTE AIRFONE employees could not accomplish this
task immediately. COMBS further advised his office did not have the
V;
capability to record BEAMER's conversation with JEFFERSON.
COMBS then
\\d JEFFERSON was no longer talking to BEAMER, and that it appeared
H to her that BEAMER may have placed the phone on a seat or in the
H magazine pocket. JEFFERSON was reporting to COMBS that she could not
H hear any discernible conversations in the background.
\\t 9:03 AM, COMBS advised he believed the telephone call had
H been disconnected. It was at this time that COMBS advised the call had
\\n received at GTE AIRFONE's Oak Brook, Illinois office via a cell
\\y near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
\\t 9:11 AM, COMBS advise the call had not disconnected, and
Uthat the phone might be in the seat pocket.
n
At approximately 9:15 AM, COMBS advised he was putting
^JEFFERSON on the phone, and that a patch of BEAMER's phone call to SA
11
I was ready. Instead of patching BEAMER's call, a party line call
ensued, in which Captain JOHN NOONAN of the NEW YORK STATE POLICE,

advised he was currently on the phone with whom he believed was the
mother-in-law of UA Flight 93 passenger JEREMY CLICK. Captain NOONAN
advised the mother-in-law was relaying information her husband was
currently obtaining from CLICK. CLICK, according to Captain NOONAN,
described one of three hijackers as having a red box which was
described as a bomb, and the others had knives. Captain NOONAN also
stated he was told by CLICK'S mother-in-law that the passengers had
decided to rush the hijackers.
JEFFERSON asked BEAMER the location and number of passengers;
BEAMER replied there were 10 passengers in the front of the plane, 27
passengers in the back/ and 5 flight attendants. BEAMER had also
stated he believed the plane had changed course. BEAMER also advised
one or all of the hijackers had entered the cockpit, locked the door,
and pulled the curtain. Captain NOONAN advised some screams were heard
from GLICK's phone, and then things became quite. BEAMER was no longer
heard from, but JEFFERSON report no noise other what appeared to be
background noise.
