Flight 93 Revealed: What Really Happened on the 9/11 Let's Roll Flight?

by Rowland Morgan, Ian Henshall (Introduction)

Flight 93 is the heroic 9/11 story that inspired America and produced the Pentagon's "Let's Roll" recruiting slogan for the Iraq invasion. Brave passengers, enraged when they learned about the 9/11 events by phone, organized an attack that brought the plane down in rural Pennsylvania. It was the drama that powered America's war effort. But how much of the Flight 93 legend is truth, and how much wishful thinking or even propaganda? In a book that will shake believers and challenge the official account, Rowland Morgan compares the legend with the available evidence and finds much of it is wishful thinking or pure invention. Problems with the U.S. Air Force's failed intervention, the presence of hijackers, the passengers' phone calls, and the dramatic climax in the cockpit suggest a motive for war that is as much fiction as fact. Rowland Morgan's co-authored 9/11 Revealed rocked government circles in London and in Washington, where it was officially branded "misinformation" and subjected to a corporate media boycott. In Flight 93: the Inside Story, Morgan again shatters illusions and forces readers to re-examine the evidence.

It is they who pull the wires that control the public mind. This is the last line of the book. A short book that asks a lot of questions but only provides a few answers. It is readable for the information only. Had it been longer than the 175 pages I may have got bored 😑 and given up. I’m not a big fan of conspiracy theories anyway. I

This is the first 9/11 "Conspiracy" account that I have managed to start and finish. I purchased the book a few years ago, placed it on a bookshelf, and largely forgot about it.

The book aims to reappraise the existing "state-sanctioned" narrative surrounding the events which took place on board Flight 93; profiles of the terrorists and Heroes aboard Flight 93, and an assessment of the probabilty of an intentional missile strike versus the 'Let's Roll' narrative.

The book does raise a number of questions which cannot be answered within the context of the existing narrative, and in this sense, provokes debate and reassessment. The most intriguing line of enquiry is that of the 'impossibilty' for the Flight 93 Passengers to establish contact with people on the ground due to the altitude of Flight 93. Furthermore, the alleged lack of any voice recordings from these calls to the ground, coupled to the indecipherable Black Box, all contrive to invite the reader to step-back and reappraise their understanding.

Until the arrival of this book, my disdain for the "Truthers" and "Conspiracy Theorists" new no bounds. This remains largely unaffected. This book differs as it treats the victims on board with the respect that they deserve.

A though-provoking and clinical assessment of Flight 93 and those that constructed the narrative in the first instance.

This book was one of those books that sounds really good but ends up not being that great. To me this is a little to one sided and that the author was only giving the surface details. What I mean is that Rowland Morgan keep referring to the movies made about flit 93 instead of facts that were taken on 9/11. along with the movie facts Mr. Rowland got a some special facts that I don't know if they are actually from the FBI but they were pretty real sounding to me.

This was really one that i didn't like because it wasn't as that fact full and gave a lot of one sided facts. The way that i interrupted that facts was that al Quead was the worst thing in the world and about how the government should of been at war as soon as the second plane hit the south tower.

My opinion is that this isn't the proper book to use on a project due to the fact that the facts are not the strongest and that supportive. if you were to do a project on flit 93 you should use a book that is on all of 9/11 or one that is written as a first person story as on the plane. I would recommended this book to people that are interested in 9/11 or to people who have to a project on 9/11 or flit 93.

Like the insurrectionists who gathered on the greens of Lexington and Concord, like the soldiers who fought to preserve the Union at Gettysburg. like the GIs who stormed the beaches of Normandy to rid the world of Nazism, like the Marines who took Iwo Jima and brought down the Japanese Empire, the heroes of Flight 93, sacrificed themselves to save potentially thousands on the ground.

No greater love hath any man than he would give his life for a friend

And despite the idiocy of authors like this the heroism of the passengers on Flight 93 lives on

Complete biased propaganda. I thought book would give an insight into possible conspiracy theories in a post 9/11 world, but couldnt get past the motive driven agenda book was trying to present. The author tried to base his whole book on the minute threads of possibilities with little to no evidence. I ended up discarding the book in the trash when I was done. I am usually open minded about books like this, and wanted to learn something new, but was sadly disappointed.
