Tom Burnett

You would have thought, or at least here at the very most, when it made the turn, allegedly.

And just to add in, We know, apparently, now this I find quite farcical, but it slipped through the net, that when you look at the cell phone towers that were being connected to apparent cell phones that were aboard that plane, we have Thomas Burnett's cell phone connecting to a tower in Fort Wayne, which is in this vicinity.

believe it or not.

So how that slipped through the net, I don't know, but I've got the records of those to do with which cell phone towers were actually routing those calls.

And we were thrilled to get the indictment and the conviction of Faisal Kareem.

But I want to talk about something else that's really part of the 911 facts a lot of people kind of know about i'm just going to talk about it a little deeper um this is tom burnett and tom burnett was uh the vice president no no no i think he was actually excuse me i think i think he was the coo at thor tech um during 9 11. and My husband worked for him directly.

My husband at that point was, I believe, the Western Division sales manager for Thoratech.

And Tom Burnett, not unlike many people who have to travel for a living, he changed his plans to be on United Flight 93 because he wanted to get back home to his family, to his family you see right here.

He had a different flight, which got him in later, and he changed those plans.

And he wasn't even supposed to be on United 93.

As you can imagine, I have this full hour plus long presentation.

Maybe someday I'll deliver that PowerPoint here because I think it's really moving to understand who was recruited, how they were recruited, the really intricate details.

At around 9.30, people aboard Flight 93 started using them.

One of the first was Tom Burnett.

Burnett called his wife, Dina.

He told her the airplane had been hijacked.

Okay.

Several of the passengers began discussing what they could do.

Tom Burnett called his wife several times.

During one of those conversations, he told her that a group was getting ready to do something.

We know one of the passengers on Flight 93 was from Minnesota.

His name was Tom Burnett Jr.

Other Minnesotans who died that day were Gordy Ameth Jr. and Gary Keckler.

Both were inside the Twin Towers, as well as Master Sergeant Max Bielke, who was at the Pentagon.

Gerald Kendall Mark Bingham.

Mark Bingham was a UC Berkeley grad and a rugby player, champion really, and his fellow Los Gatos high graduate Todd Beamer joined Tom Burnett from San Ramon and San Mateo's Jeremy Glick to storm the cockpit to stop the hijackers.

It's believed they wanted to fly the plane into the U.S. Capitol or the White House.

and they stopped them.

And Todd is that one who famously said, let's roll, who took it upon themselves, him and

Well, some of the names are Mark Bingham, Tom Burnett, Jeremy Glick, C.C. Lyles and several other passengers and crew that helped take down the really they had to crash the plane.

Yeah.

Because they weren't sure where it was going either.
