Flight 77 Cockpit Door Never Opened During 9/11 “Hijack"
By Sheila Casey / Rock Creek Free Press
Pilots for 9/11 Truth has reported that the data stream from the flight data recorder (FDR) for American Airlines flight 77, which allegedly struck the Pentagon on 9/11, shows that the cockpit door never opened during the entire 90 minute flight. The data was provided by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which has refused to comment.
The FDR is one of two “black boxes” in every commercial airliner, which are used after accidents to help determine the cause of a crash. One black box records flight data, the other records voice data (everything said in the cockpit during the flight). With those two sets of data, NTSB investigators can usually piece together the events that led to a crash. The status of the door to the cockpit is checked every four seconds throughout a flight and relayed as a simple 0 or 1, where 0=closed and 1=open, with approximately 1,300 door status checks performed during AA77’s 90 minute flight. Every one of those door status checks shows as a 0, indicating that the door to the cockpit never opened during the entire flight.
Accident investigators monitor the cockpit door with the FDR because it may yield clues to pilot error in a crash. The FDR begins recording once the pilots are in their seats and readying for takeoff, and the plane cannot take off unless the FDR is working.
The official story about flight 77 is that five Muslim terrorists brandishing box cutters forced their way into the cockpit and herded two pilots, four flight attendants and all the passengers to the back of the plane. This story came into being via Ted Olson, US Solicitor General, who told CNN — that he received two phone calls from his wife Barbara Olson, a passenger on the doomed flight. Ted Olson’s story changed several times. Sometimes he claimed that the calls from his wife were made from seat back phones, other times that she used her cell phone.
According to American Airlines customer service, the American Airlines maintenance manual for that aircraft, and American Airlines Captain Ralph Kolstad, seatback phones on 757s had been deactivated prior to 9/11/01. (They were later removed entirely, as they never worked well.)
Barbara Olson couldn’t have used a cell phone either: numerous 9/11 researchers, most notably David Ray Griffin, have pointed out that cell phones did not work on airplanes on 9/11. The speed and altitude of a commercial airliner both present overwhelming obstacles to a cell phone’s need to lock onto a cell tower and then hand off to another tower in a new location.
It was the FBI that revealed the evidence that decisively disproves Ted Olson’s story. In the Zacarias Moussaoui trial in 2006, the FBI presented a report on the cell phone calls from all four 9/11 flights. Their report on AA77 shows that there was only one phone call from Barbara Olson, but that it was an unconnected call lasting zero seconds. So Ted Olson either lied about receiving calls from his wife or was deceived into believing he received calls from her.
According to the UK Telegraph, Barbara Olson delayed her flight on 9/11 so that she could have breakfast with her husband on his birthday. That delay put her on the doomed flight. Ted Olson remarried in 2006 to tax attorney Lady Booth, whom he reportedly met the year after Barbara died.
There are numerous oddities and contradictions about AA77’s black boxes.
The government claims that the voice data recorder was damaged during the crash and that no usable data was retrieved from it. If true, this would be the first time in aviation history that a solid-state data recorder was destroyed during a crash.
While it was widely reported in the media that the FDR for AA77 was found at 4 am on September 14, 2001, the file containing the FDR data was dated over four hours earlier. In other words, we are asked to believe that the data from the FDR was downloaded prior to the FDR being found.
Researcher Aidan Monagahan has established that the NTSB does not have either serial or part numbers for the FDRs from AA77. The NTSB’s own handbook indicates that the part number and serial number of the FDR are required for data readout of the FDR. The NTSB did not have this information, giving us another reason to question how the FDR data was created.
Structural engineer Allyn Kilsheimer claimed that he personally found AA77’s black box on 9/11. But in the Popular Mechanics book Debunking 9/11 Myths, Kilsheimer is quoted as saying, “I stood on a pile of debris that we later found contained the black box 70;”
Kilsheimer’s story changes again in August 2007 in a piece done by the History Channel, “The 9/11 Conspiracies,” where he claims “I tripped over something; it was the black box.”
In earlier work, Pilots for 9/11 Truth (P4T) has determined that the same data set provided by the NTSB shows the plane too high to hit the Pentagon, based on an altimeter that uses air pressure to calibrate altitude.
As reported in the April 2009 Rock Creek Free Press, Citizen Investigation Team, citizen journalists from southern California, has collected evidence from 14 eyewitnesses that shows that the plane seen that morning near the Pentagon did not hit the building, but flew over it at the moment explosives detonated in the Pentagon, leading observers to conclude that the plane had crashed into the Pentagon.
Questions about what happened at the Pentagon have intrigued 9/11 researchers for years, beginning with photos from the alleged crash scene which do not show the wreckage of a plane.
This new evidence, showing that the cockpit door never opened during flight, is another nail in the coffin of the official story about flight 77. Clearly, if the cockpit door never opened, then hijackers did not storm the cockpit and herd the pilots to the back of the plane. The data, which originated from the government, does not support the government’s story.
Why would the government release data which contradicts its own version of events? It is possible they were just sloppy, or that they never anticipated that anyone would parse the data as carefully as Pilots for 9/11 Truth have. They may have also felt secure, that regardless of what damning revelations were contained in the FDR data, no mainstream media outlet would give them ink or air time, keeping the official story intact for the vast majority of Americans who receive their news from mainstream sources.
Rob Balsamo, founder of Pilots for 9/11 Truth, stated: “We have not located any independently verified data which confirms the government’s story. The FBI and NTSB refuse to comment.” Founded in August 2006, Pilots For 9/11 Truth is an organization of aviation professionals from around the globe who are investigating the government’s claims about the attacks of 9/11.

From Could Barbara Olson Have Made Those Calls? Futhermore... In the course of doing research for this article, we learned, to our amazement, that even if, contrary to our evidence, Flight 77 did have functioning onboard phones, the US government has now said, implicitly, that Ted Olson’s claim about receiving two calls from his wife that morning is untrue. As we mentioned earlier, the FBI report on phone calls from AA planes on 9/11 does not cite records from the DOJ showing that any calls from AA 77 were received that morning. Instead, the FBI report refers merely to four “connected calls to unknown numbers.” The 9/11 Commission, putting the best possible spin on this report, commented: “The records available for the phone calls from American 77 do not allow for a determination of which of [these four calls] represent the two between Barbara and Ted Olson, although the FBI and DOJ believe that all four represent communications between Barbara Olson and her husband’s office.”27 That is, it must be said, a very strange conclusion: If Ted Olson reported receiving only two calls, why would the Commission conclude that the DOJ had received four connected calls from his wife? That conclusion is, in any case, starkly contradicted by evidence about phone calls from Flight 77 presented by the US government at the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui in 2006.28 Far from attributing all four of the “connected calls to unknown numbers” to Barbara Olson, as the 9/11 Commission suggested, the government’s evidence here attributes none of them to her, saying instead that each of them was from an “unknown caller.” The only call attributed to Barbara Olson, moreover, is an “unconnected call” to the Department of Justice, which was said to have been attempted at “9:18:58” and to have lasted “0 seconds.” According to the US government in 2006, in other words, Barbara Olson attempted a call to the DOJ, but it did not go through.29 The government itself has presented evidence in a court of law, therefore, that implies that unless its former solicitor general was the victim of two faked phone calls, he was lying. It may seem beyond belief that the US government would have failed to support Ted Olson’s claim. We ourselves, as we indicated, were amazed at this development. However, it would not be the first time that the FBI---surely the agency that prepared this report about phone calls from the flights30---had failed to support the official story about 9/11. We refer to the fact that when Rex Tomb, the FBI’s chief of investigative publicity, was asked why the bureau’s website on “Usama bin Laden” does not list 9/11 as one of the terrorist acts for which he is wanted, he replied: “[T]he FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.”31 We're not discussing Flight 175 nor some imaginary Flight 75, we're discussing Flight 77.
There you go, you found the answer to your question.

And more specifically calls made from and logged from Flight 77, stating the plane had been taken over by hijackers and other people killed and injured. Contrary to the false claim that hijackers couldn't possibly have taken 77, over because the cabin door black box recorders show nothing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The DOJ submitted at the Moussaoui trial that Barbara Olson called her husband once during the flight, and that it lasted ZERO seconds, ie. it didn't go through.
Then again, a hostile takeover bid is in the works by Exxon-Mobil. Now you just have to look into who controls and profits from the above corporations. While you're at it, look at the Trans Afghan pipeline and Unocal's natural gas investment.
Wrong. On the older 757 models that already had them, there were. They stopped introducing them on newer models. Phone Calls from the 9/11 Airliners ...by Prof David Ray Griffin Having concluded that I had probably made an error, I wrote a retraction, entitled “Barbara Olson’s Alleged Call from AA 77: A Correction About Onboard Phones,” which was posted May 7, 2007. Having said that my earlier claim that AA 757s did not have onboard phones was “wrong, at least probably,” I concluded this essay by saying: “In this brief essay, I have tried to exemplify what I have always said people should do when they find that they have made errors, especially about issues of great importance: Correct them quickly, forthrightly, and publicly," ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- that is some thing you'll have to work out with ag the head of your liar movement.
I serviced automatic doors for years including bank and silver vaults and The Federal Reserve and IRS buildings, and the door status (and door interlocks or "man traps") are monitored and controlled by reed switches and magnets. The magnet is installed either on the face or in the nose of the door, and the reed switch is installed in the frame. When the door opens the magnet is moved away from the switch which then changes states and signals that the door is open. Now, the govt may claim that the door status switch wasn't working at the time of the flight, but this would be easily disproven if the FDR was working and recorded the pilots or crew entering the cockpit prior to liftoff. Because "the FDR must be working or the plane cannot take off" we can assume that the govt's only other excuse is, "the data was corrupted by the crash". Hey, according to the official fairie tale high rise construction is based on many false engineering principles, even though no major changes have been adopted since 9/11. So, they may claim that FDRs sometimes glitch even though no changes will be made to them, either.
There was ONE call from Barbara Olson, and it lasted 0 seconds, meaning that it was disconnected immediately. Ted Olson changed his story several times, from cell phone to airphone and then back to cell phone, depending on what the latest reports were on what was possible and what wasn't.
Thing is, they shut down the flight data recorder when they shut down the engines between flights, so the FDR normally wouldn't record the door opening.

Nearly every flight I've ever taken I've seen flight attendants enter the cockpit. Also, when the crew needs to use the WC they have to open the door, right? So, if there is evidence of the door being opened prior to takeoff (thereby showing that the switch was working) but not opened in flight it puts the "explainers" in a precarious position, wouldn't you say?
i gotta say- your tolerance & relentlessness with these people are very impressive. yeesh!
"if I have all faith so as to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing." 1 Cor 12:31—13:13 i'm not sure that all the detail is necessary.. to the average person, one could comment 'buildings don't explode like that from airplanes' & get instant agreement. sort of like the vomit colored tic tac toe like grids in the sky.... yeah sure they're normal?? lol. all of it's nonsense; as for the few who still buy it? pity them!!
"if I have all faith so as to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing." 1 Cor 12:31—13:13 Nearly every flight I've ever taken I've seen flight attendants enter the cockpit. Also, when the crew needs to use the WC they have to open the door, right? Not according to a large group of pilots, who state that it's common for pilots to use the bathroom prior to getting into the cockpit, bring their own lunches with them, and keep the door closed during flight. Also, it may depend on the type of aircraft, where it might be more common on older style planes for the flight attendent to enter the cockpit, but on larger and more modern planes such as the 757, the cockpit is more self contained. From Link Many pilots dont like to leave the flight deck. Its called "The Walk Of Shame" for a reason...lol Also keep in mind, some of the previous flight locations if i recall were LA- ORD-MIA-IAD, These are relatively short legs. 2-3 hours. Hit the bathroom before boarding, bring your lunch (which most pilots do to save some cash and eat more healthy than airline food), and you never need to leave your seat. There is also plenty of room to stretch on a 757 Flight Deck. So, if there is evidence of the door being opened prior to takeoff (thereby showing that the switch was working) but not opened in flight it puts the "explainers" in a precarious position, wouldn't you say? The FDR only starts recording once the engines are running, and there is usually no reason to open the door prior to takeoff after the pilots are in their seats and the engines are running prior to takeoff. The case here is that the FDR shows the door being closed for the entire flight, and for the 11 prior flights, although that isn't that unusual, in fact, it's pretty common. What makes it unusual here is that if the flight deck door remained closed for the entire flight, then obviously the plane was not hijacked.
I don't do it for their benefit, I do it for the benefit of those who are here to read the info and form their own opinion... I'm tempted at times to really say what's on my mind, but it would just play into the hands of those who are trying to discredit the info.
All this arm-waving about cell phones, is to try to obfuscate the voluminous evidence that Flight 11 was hijacked, both because the cabin security was breached and calls were logged and recorded, regardless of what amateurs selectively pick from research reports, and also because those calls describe the people doing the hijackings. So you're left fighting a rear guard action while getting pushed back, your resistance consisting of deny, deny, deny without bringing anything new of your own to the discussion. In other words, per k00kology, we now have 5 separate conspiracies for just 1 flight out of 4 on Sept 11 2001. And the other 3 flights have at least 5 more of their own conspiracies, making a total of 4 x 5 = 20 conspiracies that must be maintained at all costs. And yet the same people who produce and manage 20+ stageshow presentations perfectly for 8 years, can't even get enough regular session funds to pay for the war they wanted and which they've made the longest and costliest in American history. Riiight.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROVE that cabin security was breached. It's not impossible to fake phone calls, hell, I can set my caller ID to display any number I want. An intelligence agency with tons of money could utilize voice synthesis technology to make anyone's voice sound like somebody else's. As far as Olson, it's clear as day that either somebody other than his wife called him, or he's lying.
Just how many conspiracies are you Six Percenters going to claim are being managed with zero defections, even though the war the conspiracies are supposed to be done for, is lurching towards stagnation, failure, and possibly even world wide defeat.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) The conspiracy to send something other than Fight 77 to hit the Pentagon, If there was a need for a specific spot to be targetted, and for not THAT much damage to be done, yet enough to accomplish the desired results, then it would make sense to use a decoy for "witnesses" to see, while something else actually sped towards the target. As it is, it's close to physically impossible for a 757 to fly less than 60 feet off the ground at 400+ mph, yet for the official story to be true, we are to believe Flight 77 somehow flew level at 20 feet off the ground at 530+ mph, with a "pilot" at the wheel who couldn't even fly a small single engine Cessna. (2) The conspiracy to kill the people on Flight 77 some other way, then mis- identify their DNA remains, Whose to say the tests were actually performed, or where the remains that were actually examined came from. (3) The conspiracy to scatter shredded and burnt 757 American parts over the Pentagon grounds and crash site, directly under the cameras of worldwide coverage without getting detected, I'm still waiting for you to provide pictures of the wreckage being placed into trucks and carted away. There was minimal debris on the lawn, and the pieces that YOU showed sitting on the lawn look like they came from a model airplane. (4) The conspiracy to hide information showing the cabin and voice recorder data of Flight 77 is not available, and Huh? Nobody here is arguing about the cockpit voice recorder, it was damaged in the crash, at least that is what is claimed by the government. (5) The conspiracy to generate ficticious onboard and cell phone logs and entries showing staff and passenger conversations during the hijackings. Not difficult to do, as already stated.
How much money has been spent on the Iraq and Afghan wars, a trillion or more? That's bought more than a few luxury items for those in the defense and "rebuilding" industry. What happened to Iraqi oil? Oh yeah, BP owns it now apparently. How'd Unocol do with that problem with getting permission to build a pipeline across Afghanistan? Oh yeah, they built it. How'd all those high tech "surveilance" companies do after the Patriot Act was enacted? How many rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights are still inviolable?
Your video shows a bunch of guys with suits running around the Pentagon lawn holding up a few pieces of scrap, which even I could do better on faking a plane crash with some junk from the dump.
Already done. Read and view my links instead of coming up with Pavlovian denials of the information they contain. Start with the one a couple posts up, which shows lots of Pentagon aircraft part wreckage and clean up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Where are all those surveillance videos that the FBI confiscated from traffic cameras that morning?
Oh you could? Then show me even 10 frames of your video or anybody else's showing anybody planting any plane parts anywhere on the Pentagon at any time. pwned, liar. You lose.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Liar. You posted an image showing two guys with suits carrying a few pieces of what appeared to be tin foil. Did they make you a nice hat with it? Show the images of the trucks being loaded with the wreckage. Where is the wreckage being stored BTW?
pwned, liar. You lose. There is nothing on the lawn that couldn't easily be made from scrap or sheet metal. YOU lose.
Yes, it is old news. Also since no plane struck the Pentagon I am not sure what use the flight data recorder would have that would prove anything. I think it would be easy enough to come up with a fake FDR for that plane. They probably just forgot some details, like the cockpit door opening. Surely the real FDR from that flight will never be heard or seen since it is highly likely all passengers were killed by the CIA/Mossad for the good of Israel.
God is always good!
Where's your even 10 frame video showing evidence being planted at the Pentagon flockwit?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The fool who produced the video you posted in post 114 is an even bigger liar than you are. He is claiming that the outside panels on the WTC towers were actually steel columns, and that they are proof that the "steel columns were buckling from the heat of the fire". I bet you and he are good buddies...
Show me how it was, and show me even 10 frames of somebody planting it. Then explain why you ignore the jet engine parts, and scorched 757 strut and landing gear parts, in the same video.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But they had box cutters. They were all so scared of those box cutters that they forgot that they had more powerful weapons. I highly doubt there was any plane hijacked that day. And I am fairly certain no plane whatsoever struck the Pentagon.
God is always good!
What are they, then, bamboo?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you going to fill up this thread with SPAM from your fellow loons who decided they'd plaster their idiotic bullshit on YouTube? The discussion here was about the state of the "FLT DECK DOOR" data field on Flight 77's flight data recorder, not a parade of every KOOK version of the government conspiracy theory that not even the GOVERNMENT has tried to foist on the American People. If you have points to make or facts to talk about, do it, but stop SPAMMING this thread.

The 757 Aircraft Maintenance Manual: Besides learning about and confirming this letter from Kinder, we also obtained another piece of evidence supporting the conclusion that passengers on AA 77 could not have used onboard phones. One of RB’s colleagues sent him a page from the Boeing 757 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (757 AMM) dated January 28, 2001. This page states that the passenger phone system for the AA 757 fleet had (by that date) been deactivated.24 According to the 757 AMM, in other words, the onboard phones had been deactivated at least seven and a half months prior to 9/11.

Also, it is not unusual to keep the cockpit door closed during flight. I have gone on many 4-5 hour flights never leaving the cockpit. I've even done many trips single and twin engine prop from NY to Florida, Memphis... etc, 8-10 hours of flying, with one pee break at midway point when stopping for gas. I know many pilots who go hours without leaving their seat.

“The records available for the phone calls from American 77 do not allow for a determination of which of [these four calls] represent the two between Barbara and Ted Olson, although the FBI and DOJ believe that all four represent communications between Barbara Olson and her husband’s office."
(1) The conspiracy to send something other than Fight 77 to hit the Pentagon,
And these 5 conspiracies for Flight 11, and the 20+ for all anti war hijacking issues and building destructions, must be maintained at all costs with no dissenting witnesses even among people classified as anti government.
(2) The conspiracy to kill the people on Flight 77 some other way, then mis-identify their DNA remains,
(3) The conspiracy to scatter shredded and burnt 757 American parts over the Pentagon grounds and crash site, directly under the cameras of worldwide coverage without getting detected,
(4) The conspiracy to hide information showing the cabin and voice recorder data of Flight 77 is not available, and
(5) The conspiracy to generate ficticious onboard and cell phone logs and entries showing staff and passenger conversations during the hijackings.
One of the major consequences of the 9/11 movement has been to draw enormous amounts of energy and effort away from activism directed to real and ongoing crimes of state, and their institutional background, crimes that are far more serious than blowing up the WTC would be, if there were any credibility to that thesis. That is, I suspect, why the 9/11 movement is treated far more tolerantly by centers of power than is the norm for serious critical and activist work....Noam Chomsky

All this arm-waving about cell phones, is to try to obfuscate the voluminous evidence that Flight 11 was hijacked, both because the cabin security was breached and calls were logged and recorded, regardless of what amateurs selectively pick from research reports, and also because those calls describe the people doing the hijackings.

PROVE that cabin security was breached....An intelligence agency with tons of money could utilize voice synthesis technology to make anyone's voice sound like somebody else's.

even though the war the conspiracies are supposed to be done for, is lurching towards stagnation, failure, and possibly even world wide defeat.

I'm still waiting for you to provide pictures of the wreckage being placed into trucks and carted away. There was minimal debris on the lawn, and the pieces that YOU showed sitting on the lawn look like they came from a model airplane.

Which even I could do better on faking a plane crash with some junk from the dump.

Then show me even 10 frames of your video or anybody else's showing anybody planting any plane parts anywhere on the Pentagon at any time.

You posted an image showing two guys with suits carrying a few pieces of what appeared to be tin foil. Did they make you a nice hat with it?

All of that being said, isn't it a bit ridiculous for a commercial jet that was known to be hijacked for an hour and a half to be left alone to hit the Pentagon ?
#122. To: FormerLurker (#119)
an even bigger liar than you are. He is claiming that the outside panels on the WTC towers were actually steel columns, and that they are proof that the "steel columns were buckling from the heat of the fire".
