C/S R.W.:I'II talk to anybody, I'll talk to anybody with a State Police uniform on.
Unknown Male:Okay, with a State Police uniform on. Hold on.
Tpr. B.J.C.: Trooper COOPER- SP Hunter. What can I do? Hello.
C/S R.W.rYes.
Tpr. B.J.C.:Trooper COOPER, State Police.
C/S R.W.iYeah, just to bring you up to speed just so everybody... We're leaving
the line open. This is the State Police, Poughkeepsie.
Tpr. B.J.C.iOkay.
C/S R.W.:We've got our Major. We've got everybody involved. We've been
trying to get a hold of FAA. So due to the high volume of calls up there,
it's hard to dial out. So we need to leave this line open.
Tpr. B.J.C.:Okay. BCI is on the scene right now.
C/S R.W.They're on the scene?
Tpr. B.J.C.:Two Investigators just walked up. I don't know what's going on here.
C/S R.W.:Okay, this woman received, her daughter received a call from her husband
who is one of the planes that has been hijacked. And...
Tpr. B.J.C.: Okay.
C/S. R.W.:And that's where you're at. Our Major's asking that this line stay open.

So make sure the BC! knows that. And we want to know what happens
with that line 'cause we've been working this thing for about a half an hour. .
Tpr. B.J.C.:! have an open line with SP Poughkeepsie and the Major is there.
They don't want to close the line.
BC! knows.
C/S R.W.:Okay. Thank you.
•Tpr. BJ.C.: And you and I can sit here and...
C/S R.W.:Have they verified yet whether or not that line is open to the plane or if
the plane has, if that connection has been closed.
Tpr. BJ.C.:To be honest with you, I don't know.
C/S R.W.:Okay, if you get a chance, just ask them that.
Tpr. B.J.C.: Do they have an open line to the plane?
Poughkeepsie? Poughkeepsie?
C/S R.W.:Yeah. Yeah.
Tpr. B.J.C.:Apparently the father is on the phone. He has an open line
with the phone on the plane.
C/S R.W.:Okay, they still, he still thinkR that it's open?
Tpr. B.J.C.:Yup. I talked to the Trooper who was here first.
C/S R.W.:Can someone take the phone from him and listen for themseif to see if
they hear background noise? Because this is what I'm trying to determine.
Is the line open all the way to the plane and nobody's talking on it? Or
has the cell side of it between the plane and the first tower disconnected
and all we're doing is getting dead space.
Tpr. B.J.C.: SF Poughkeepsie's on the phone. They have the Major there.
They're trying to... Is that line still open to the plane?
Ms. J.M.:No.
Unknown Maleilt's open to the plane but we haven 't had any response from the
plane.

Tpr. B.J.C.:Yes, I am.

C/S R.W~:Okay.
Tpr. B.J.C.:! saw everything going on so I stopped.
C/S R.W.:Yeah, it's been an amazing morning.
Tpr. B.J.C.:Yeah. The last thing that the father was hearing was that there was
a group of passengers that were going to try to overtake the terrorists.
C/S R.W.:Yeah, we have that. We have that about that time. They, they don't
know it and don't, don't, don't say anything to the people there. But if
you've got a Bureau guy, quietly tell him we think the... The FFA
doesn't see it on radar any more.
Tpr. B.J.C.rl'm sorry?
C/S R.W.:I said you can't, don't tell the family at this point 'cause I don't want
them to get excited but we're not seeing the plane, they're not seeing

I don't know if you guys have that information or...
C/S. R.W.:Yeah, we've already got that.
Tpr. B.J.C.: It's probably...
C/S R.W.:We think this plane was still in the New Jersey/Pennsylva~ja area.

You got that? Said they had a bomb and they moved everyone to the
back of the plane.
Right. And...
And the passengers were planning to attack these men.
Yeah, when I was on the phone with them, she said "They're going to
do it now." So as far as I know, they did attempt that.
What time was that?
They - one of the Lieutenants wanted my paper and I'm waiting - as
soon as he comes back I can give you the time.
All right
It's been one of those mornings. Major FAZIO is asking us to keep
this line open mainly because everybody's calling everybody and the
telephone system is so stressed right now, this might be our only way
to keep in contact.
All right
Just so you know, it looks like Flight 93 went off radar.
Oh, really.
Yeah.

We're not going to saying nothing.

From, from the cell connection, the description from the caller, the

in the New Jersey/Pennsylvania area.

He said there's no background or anything anymOre.

Nothing.
Do we think... Are we pretty sure that the plane's not in the connection
anymore? Or not?

of that phone?
He said he hasn't, he hasn't heard any background noise or anything.

these hijackers, their intention was to hit the Trade Center.
C/S R.W.:This was well planned. You can tell.

the Pentagon and the Trade Center?

They dialed 911 on their cell phone and it rang into Poughkeepsie.
So we're in contact with the towers and the FAA.
No, it's just their cell called SP Poughkeepsie.
We haven 't even gotten a 911 call and we would - -f that was happening
we 'dget a call on 911. You know that, ED? What a day! If that was
happening we'd have 911 calls by now. Although we haven 't gotten

Oh yeah?
You don't have 900 bosses wanting to know impossible answers right

Is there another crash in Pittsburgh?
Yeah.
And that's where they lost this plane on radar?
We're not sure. But it did go - it is off the air, off the radar.
That's not good. What are they doing with all the other planes
that were up in the air?
Huh?
What are they doing with all the other planes?
I think they already crashed into buildings.
No, I mean the other ones that were up.
