I don't believe that the air force jets even got anywehre close to 93. And I believe the cockpit voice recorder picked up the sound of the passengers trying to get in and the hijackers saying that they were just going to put the plane into the ground. Thats good enough for me.
We do not know this for fact. We know they were planning and headed into the cockpit. We do not know what happened after that and we know jets were sent to intercept it. We have no communication verified between those jets and flight 93 by the passengers. We only have tidbits on a family members cell phone of what was planned to overthrow the hijackers.

This is a possibility.
The plane depressurized for some reason, the pilot/copilot tried to take the plane to lower altitude and became incapacitated due to hypoxia. The plane continued to fly until it ran out of gas. This is what happened to Payne Stewart's (golfer) plane.

I keep going back to the phones ringing, I realise there are explanations as explained in previous posts for phones ringing but in my experience with phones they don't ring unless they have network - and it wouldn't explain so many of them doing this. By now they must have found at least a last trace of last whereabouts on at least one of these phones - I'm not buying that multiple phones are ringing or have rung if they were at the bottom of the ocean.
Why don't we have any info on these phones? someone must have at least texted or tweeted as they were on the ascent. I know the plane was not equipped with the system MA has but still, 239 passengers, that has to be at least 150 phones.
Surely if all these phones were at the bottom of the ocean, switched off or broken the phone lines would be going straight to voicemail?

That map just appears to show the known flight path of the plane up until it disappeared. I was wondering how far the plane could have flown on for before running out of fuel and if anyone could give a location based on the fuel load and the last known direction of the plane.
They said that because of where they are, That the extra rings are the phones and networks all trying to find each other??? Something like that.
IT makes sense. When I have bad service I can hear the rings kind of skip and re ring if that makes sense?

Re black box (still bothering me!)
Can they be switched off manually? My understanding was that they were bomb/sea/crash/everything proof so why on earth is it not pinging its location???
This to me seems the maddest part of this case.
