Reply #5: I read an account of that day on Larry Johnson's blog [View All]

One of the comments is a man who says he was watching MSNBC (if he recalls correctly) and that they were in contact with a man on the flight.

"We talked and went to the neighboring TV store and watched the day unfold on a variety of large screens, every channel available, satellite and cable, that was broadcasting. It was like a giant war room.

There were so many channels on that tracking who was at each talking and presenting the video was hard to track...

]b]I want to say it was MSNBC that someone was talking to a passenger in the tail seat section of the flight over Pennsylvania...

"Oh we're okay now- there's a plane outside the window, it's a fighter-"
Announcer: "I'm sorry but it looks like we've lost phone contact with him..."

And there were at least five other viewing who can verify the statement."
