JEFFERSON also typed out .a summary of the events, which was turned over to the interviewing agent. During one of the BEAMER conversations, JEFFERSON performed a "print screen" to document BEAMER1S credit card number.' This printout was also turned over to the interviewing agent. COMBS and MARK RUGG, .the manager of Network Operations, put together spreadsheets containing all the cellular calls made from United Airlines (UA) flights 93 and 175 on today's date. The information was derived from GTE ACIS, their billing system. They first compiled all the calls originating from UA 757s. The calls from the flights in question were then extracted and listed separately on the spreadsheets. Each call is listed on a seperate row. The information on the second and third pages relates to the corresponding call on the first page.. The times listed under the page one column "CALL_DIAL_TIME" are believed to be noted in the time zone of the originating caller, eastern standard time.

The caller identified himself as TODD BEAMER of Cranberry, New Jersey, a passenger aboard United Airlines (UAL) Flight 93 to San Francisco, departing at 8:00 a.m. Eastern time and landing 11:14 a.m. Pacific time. BEAMER called to state that the airplane was about to be highjacked. He stated that three individuals, two wielding knives, the third with a bomb strapped to his waist with a red belt, were preparing to take control of the flight. JEFFERSON estimated that she spoke to BEAMER for seven minutes before the two highjackers armed with knives entered the cockpit, securing the door behind them. The third highjacker with the bomb remained in the main cabin with the passengers after closing the privacy curtain between First Class and Economy Class. BEAMER stated that after a short period, the aircraft maneuvered erratically and continued to do so. He stated that the aircraft was turning around. JEFFERSON noted that the call had an unusually low amount of background noise. JEFFERSON continued her conversation with BEAMER for another eight minutes. During this time she could hear screams, prayers, exclamations, and talk of subduing the highjackers. At no time did she hear any discernable language -other than English. At approximately 9:00 a.m. Central time, BEAMER said that the passengers were about to attack the highjackers. 09/11/2001 Chicago, Illinois (telephonically) 265D-NY-280350 09/11/2001 Law Enforcement Privac REQ. #35-13 oO, :f6>30 000000127 265D-NY-280350 Lisa Jefferson 09/11/2001 2 Her last exchange with BEAMER, in which he asked JEFFERSON to call his pregnant wife, Lisa, and his two boys, David and Andrew, to tell them that he loved them, occurred at 9:00 a.m. Central time. Next, JEFFERSON heard another passenger give the go-ahead to make their move. After that point, she heard nothing. She kept the connection open for another twenty minutes without hearing anything, at which time she disconnected the call. During the call, tracking equipment indicated that the call was being serviced by a Pittsburgh transceiver, indicating that the aircraft was in that service area. Approximately five minutes later, JEFFERSON received a call from MARSHALL LNU of Verizon Quality Control for residential service. MARSHALL indicated that a passenger, JEREMY LNU, aboard UAL 93 was currently phoning his in-laws via an airphone. The in-laws contacted Verizon while remaining in contact with JEREMY. For some reason, Verizon contacted GTE Airphone during this call with JEREMY'S in-laws. JEFFERSON could not hear JEREMY via this chain of calls. JEFFERSON received information second hand about the conversation between JEREMY and his in-laws via the Verizon employee. JEFFERSON estimates that this call came at 9:30 a.m. Central time. Conversation with Verizon continued until approximately 9:43 a.m. at which time the connection with the airphone ended.

THOMAS BURNETT was talking quietly and told his wife that the flight he was on had been hijacked. He advised her he was on United Airlines flight 93 from Newark, New Jersey to San Francisco, California. THOMAS BURNETT instructed his wife to call the authorities and advise them that the plane had been hijacked. The hijackers claimed to have a bomb. He also told his wife that a passenger had been knifed. Approximately ten minutes later DEENA BURNETT received another call from her husband, THOMAS BURNETT. THOMAS BURNETT was speaking in a quiet voice and asked his wife if she had heard about any other planes. DEENA BURNETT advised her husband that two planes had flown into the World Trade Center. THOMAS BURNETT asked if they were commercial planes. DEENA BURNETT responded that the planes were unidentified at the time. DEENA BURNETT stated it seemed that her husband knew other flights had crashed into the World Trade Center, although this was never specifically brought up. THOMAS BURNETT mentioned during this conversation that the hijackers were talking about flying the plane into the ground, location not specified. Approximately five minutes later she received another cell phone call from her husband. BURNETT was able to determine that her husband was using his own cellular telephone because the caller identification showed his number, (925) 980-3360. Only one of the calls did not show on the caller identification as she was on the line with another call. THOMAS BURNETT advised his wife in this call that the passenger that had been knifed had died. He told her "they" were in the cockpit. She asked her husband to sit still.

DEENA did not respond and THOMAS BURNETT stated he did not think they had a bomb because he did not see one; only knives. THOMAS BURNETT then told his wife "we are turning toward the World Trade Center, no we are turning away." BURNETT then told his wife "] have to go" and hung up the phone. During the last call to his wife BURNETT told her "a group of us are getting ready to do something" and he may not speak to her again. DEENA BURNETT advised that her husband, other than referring to the hijackers in the plural, never provided any descriptive data regarding the hijackers. She never noted any background noise other than what one would normally expect on an airplane. DEENA BURNETT noted that her husband usually flew first class. In closing she noted that her husband was a former college football player and very intelligent. If he concluded he was going to die he would not sit there, he would take action. THOMAS EDWARD BURNETT, date of birth May 29, 1963, was the Chief Operating Officer for Thoratec Corporation, 6035 Stoneridge Drive, Pleasanton, California 94588, (925) 735-0155.

JACK indicated that his wife called him at his residence on two occasions during the morning of September 11, 2001, and left messages on the answering machine, which were stored digitally. JACK did not take the calls personally because he was asleep at his residence. JACK said that he would play the messages for the Agents; however, the messages were so personal in their substance that he was extremely concerned about his own and his in-laws' privacy and did not want the recordings to be made public. JACK played the two conversations. The first message was left at approximately 4:30 a.m., Pacific Standard Time prior to boarding United Airline (UA) Flight 93. LAUREN'S message was that she arrived at the airport earlier than expected and was able to get on UA Flight 93, enabling her to return to San Francisco early. The second message was left on the answering machine at approximately 6:00 a.m., Pacific Standard Time. JACK indicated that LAUREN owned a cellular telephone but he was not sure which cellular telephone she was using. LAUREN'S message indicated that there were problems on the flight (Flight 93) but she reassured him that everything was alright. Her voice was very calm and there were no audible background noises. LAUREN told JACK numerous times in the message that she loved him. LAUREN also told JACK to advise her family that she loved them.

In LAUREN'S second message, there was no mention of a hijacking, any descriptive information about the hijackers or weapons used. JACK said that he wanted to help the investigation but at this time he did not want the FBI to record the.digital messages because he wanted to talk to LAUREN'S relatives concerning privacy issues. JACK mentioned that he would record the messages to preserve them if and when he decided to turn them over to the authorities.

SANDRA also informed her husband the hijackers had placed red bands on their heads and were at the front of the airplane.

Jeremy left his residence in Hewitt, NJ, on 09/11/2001 for Newark International Airport to board Flight .#93 en route, non-stop, to San Francisco, CA. Jeremy was presumably carrying only a small, .wheeled, carry-on suitcase and a laptop compiiter on the flight. Jeremy was employed as a sales manager by Vividencf, Inc., of San Mateo, CA, (415) 305-6170, was en route to San Francispo for a meeting and was scheduled to return on 09/12/2001. During the call, Jeremy initially spoke to his mother-in-law, JoAnne Makely and immediately asked to speak to his wife, Lyzbeth. After giving the telephone to Lyzbeth, JoAnne Makely contacted "911" via her cellular telephone I I Jeremy first told Lyzbeth that he loved her and then said that Flight #93 had been hijacked by three "Iranian-looking" males, with dark skin and bandanas (ethnic type as opposed to hippie type) on their heads. One of the males stated that he was in possession of a bomb in a red box and one was armed with a knife. Jeremy advised that the plane was approximately one hour out of Newark and that they were over land, although it felt as if they were circling instead of flying straight towards California. Jeremy advised Lyzbeth that the hijackers had herded the passengers into the rear of the plane and told them that if they did not crash into the World Trade Center, that they were going to blow-up the plane. One of , the hijackers then told the passengers to call their loved ones. The three hijackers then entered the cockpit of the plane.

The entire call lasted approximately fifteen to twenty minutes. Lyzbeth could not hear any unusual sounds in the background of the call and the connection was extremely clear, "as if he was calling from the next room." Jeremy was extremely calm, but sounded very concerned and confused. Jeremy advised that the Captain had not made any announcements and that the people were scared because they did not know what was happening. Jeremy advised Lyzbeth that other passengers had contacted their wives and husbands and asked if it were true that people were crashing planes into the World Trade Center. Lyzbeth and her parents had been watching news coverage of the events on the television and were aware that at least one plane had crashed into the World Trade Center, but neither of the Towers had fallen at the time of Jeremy's call. Jeremy advised Lyzbeth that he and four other male passengers were contemplating "rushing" the hijackers and asked Lyzbeth if that was okay with her. Lyzbeth told Jeremy that she did not know if that was okay and asked Jeremy if any of the hijackers had guns, to which Jeremy replied they did not. In a joking manner, as if ease Lyzbeth's concern, Jeremy advised that he and approximately four other male passengers were "going to get the butter knives." Jeremy then, seriously, told Lyzbeth that he and the other males were organizing to "rush" the hijackers. Jeremy told Lyzbeth that he loved her and asked her not to hang-up the telephone. Lyzbeth remained on the phone for a few minutes then handed the telephone to her father, Richard Makely. The Click's have a three month old baby girl named Emerson Ferris Click, born 06/18/2001.

Jeremy had been talking to Lyzbeth as Jeremy was flying in an airplane that he had told her had been hijacked. Jeremy had just told Lyzbeth that he and four other airplane passengers were going to attempt to overtake the three hijackers, who were in the cockpit of the airplane. When Makely got the telephone from Lyzbeth, he only heard silence on the telephone, then three, four, or five minutes went by, and there were high pitched screaming noises coming over the telephone, that sounded like they were coming from a distance from the airplane telephone. Makely described the noises as sounding similar to the screams coming from individuals riding a roller coaster. There was then several minutes of silence on the telephone. Then Makely heard a series of high pitched screaming sounds again, followed by a noise which he described as "wind sounds." The "wind sounds" were followed by noises that sounded as though the airplane telephone was hitting a hard surface several times or banging around. Then there was silence on the telephone. During the screaming and other sounds that Makely heard, a telephone operator from Horizon broke into the telephone call and relayed the information to police officials. Makely was sure that the operator was from Horizon, not Verizon, and that there was a tape recording of the conversation. Makely and the telephone operator stayed on the telephone for approximately 1 % hours, until approximately 10:45a.m., but never heard any further noises on the telephone. The telephone call was then terminated.

The press became so intrusive that the police had to be called. Therefore, CATUZZI wrote a press release concerning LAUREN, which JACK read to the press on September 12, 2001. CATUZZI stated that in his press release there was no mention that LAUREN stated in her message, "We have been hijacked."
