If passengers had them on board on 9/11, they might have been able to figure out the upcoming events, and even prevented them, as the cell-phone using passengers were able to do on the flight that crashed in Pennsylvania.</font>
Some passengers did have them, I believe that was part of the problem. It's sort of how they got to the World Trade Center.
The people with cell phones figured it out because the other two planes had already crashed into the towers and people were told what had happended. Everybody on board could have had a GPS on those two planes, I know that my unit tells me where I am, not where I am going to. It never would have predicted they were flying into a building.
GPS would have done nothing to help the people in the first two planes, that's the silliest statement I've ever seen here.
