Just a side note amongst the stories of the tragedy.

The "banned use on board" cellphones were apparently used extensively on the 4 hijacked planes. Personal messages of sorrow and love were delivered, and the majority of what we know about what happened on board I assume came from these brave callers.

I only wish the lies we are constantly told about these phones interfering with aircraft operation were true, but all of the aircraft seemed to sadly uneffected by their use.

I hope the days of being lied to about this are over. I hope, as a nation, we will acknowlegde how useful they were here and allow their limited use on board during flight.
