9/11 Tapes Reveal Ground Personnel Muffled Attacks [View All]

Gail Sheehy writes a stunning piece in the New York Observer which reveals frightening and damning details of American Airlines' active coverup as the early 9-11 events unfolded. The story centers on a families-only briefing where tapes were played, some of which surfaced this week at the commission hearings and some of which have yet to do so:

Despite all the high secrecy surrounding the briefing, a half-dozen different family members were so horrified by voice evidence of the airlines’ disregard for the fate of their pilots, crew and passengers that they found ways to reveal some of what they heard on those tapes, and also what they felt. To them, the tapes appeared to show that the first instinct of American and United Airlines, as management learned of the gathering horror aboard their passenger planes on Sept. 11, was to cover up.

The response of American’s management on duty, as revealed on the tape produced at the meeting, was recalled by persons in attendance:

"Don’t spread this around. Keep it close."

"Keep it quiet."

"Let’s keep this among ourselves. What else can we find out from our own sources about what’s going on?"

There's so much more. Clearly we will be hearing a lot from the families soon. Net, the coverup is going to unravel. It's just a matter of time now. Let's keep the pressure on!
